Did not try to recover, just browse. Scanning the ChangeLog didn't turn up anything since ?1998?, back in 2.4.0. A change to index directory structure. But I may have missed it scanning quickly. jl -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road(609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)

pleasant observation
Just a nice observation. I have been running version 2.4.2 for a long time. Yesterday I decided to upgrade. As you know there have been a lot of changes in the interim. I was slightly concerned how they would affect my system. I downloaded the 3/08 snapshot, configured with my old script, compiled, installed, and edited only chg-mtx to set the slot numbers. amtape worked, amcheck said ok, and last night amdump did its thing. Good job Core Team of developers in maintaining backward compatibility!! Now to explore the new/changed features. -- Jon H.
