This is what I've been doing in my backup set, but I wanted to add the flat version as a backup to the backup. I never would have thought it would be such painful experience. I think I have similar file redirection problems on my Apple I. Way to go, big o! Is the debug method bullet proof? In other words, is there any way for some other trc file to get in the middle? If so, then the grep for the commands is appropriate. =============================================================== Ray Stell [EMAIL PROTECTED] (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC 28^D -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ray Stell INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
