Thanks. Will compare routines tonight. Is this the utility which was with 
Winback? I see what you are getting at: GET might return the error if there is 
nothing to be GOT...so if the filename length word is 0, get will not fetch a 
null string?

Can't believe I didn't check for this as deleted file nulls should be common 
enough for anyone's hard disk to make it fallover if this was the case.

Actually, I pity Duncan...he knew it was possible, tried (probably for ages) to 
make it happen and couldn't!
