One possible way around this might be to instead of creating the 10,000 files seperately, each time the hour changes, create a new maclib and start adding members. If the 10k creations are uniform across the 24 hours, that would be 24 maclibs, each with 416 members. A restriction is that AFAIK, the members of a maclib must be 80 byte fixed lenghh records. Not sure this would be practical, just tossing it out as a possibility. If you need V records, perhaps you could fake a loadlib. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.
