Just to get it right, MVIEW fails if you try to open dos1_ straight away but it works if you first open a sub-directory? > Any ideas Dave or Marcel? Unfortunately I have next to no data to base any ideas on ;-) I especially don't know qdir and what it does differently from other directory reading routines. If I get told in what way DOS behaves differently to other devices I can try to change that. But mind you that a 100% perfect emulation is next to impossible. Directories in QDOS were only implemented as an afterthought. Marcel
