I think you need to go a little lower first. A size limit isn't useful if the contents need to be sorted. So, an easy first question is, does the file need to be sorted? If not, then does the file need to be ASCII or would a DB file be better? -spp -- Stephen Potter <spp at unixsa.net> <http://www.lopsa.org> Director, LOPSA Executive Board "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two useless men are a law firm, and three are a congress." - John Adams
