And to Anthony, yes i do need to tamper with the files in &SAVEDLISTS& &HOLD& &PH& , they are type 1 files and our stoneage application uses especially &SAVEDLISTS& for all kinds of nasty stuff, and instead of rewriting 100+ old basic programs, i can write 1-3 new perl scripts to manipulate those files, and since we are in the progress of planning a migration to SB+, I simply will not start to rewrite large part of an old system! One of my concerns about the & files were if the names are hardcoded in the uv binary or if the uv binary respects the VOC, so i wouldnt rename the physical directories before asking in this forum! best regards from denmark Frie Funktionfrer - faglig organisation og tvfrfaglig a-kasse - www.f-f.dk *************************************************************************************************************************************** Denne email og alle filer vedlagt som bilag kan indeholde fortroligt materiale, der kun er beregnet for adressaten, og maa ikke udleveres eller kopieres til uvedkommende.
