My dos1 is c:\ and STAT DOS1_ correctly gives 36006712/58605112 However, dos6 is h:\ and STAT DOS6_ gives 3600720/58605112 instead of a correct 17688/245728. It seems clear that the returned figures for STAT DOSx all relate to DOS1. George _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
