Hi ed, Actually the difference is that type 1 will break long items into sub directories and type 19 will use long filenames. Type 1's can be a real pita when you get down to os file access as UV.VI does.
I've never used procs so that's not it. And as far as I can tell the CREATE.BFILE voc entry is intact in all accounts.

The only difference between a type 1 and a type 19 file physically is that the type 1 has an empty file in it named ".Type1". So maybe you replaced CREATE.BFILE with a program that runs CREATE.BFILE under another name and then writes the magic file, or resizes it? In ideal flavor, creating a type 19 file is as easy as typing "CREATE.FILE MYFILE 19" and you get a default dictionary size, so maybe you replaced CREATE.BFILE with a proc?
