If you use WinBack to create a backup, there was a (useful) utility which took a snapshot of the directory structure, built a new SuperBasic file (called Make_directory_bas I think) and you would run this first against a new disk prior to a restore.
It made life easier as the restore would put the files back into the correct location, as opposed to having all the files live in the top level directory and then make_dir everything afterwards. That way of doing it resulted in huge piles of "holes" in the directory structure and doing DIR WIN1_ would result in quite a substantial delay as the DIR code skipped over all the "holes". Of course, if you didn't use WinBack's utility to build the tree, then you are slightly stuffed I'm afraid. :-( Cheers, Norman. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
