My experience says that you have to be careful copying the catdir directory. You can get some corrupt data because of the funny characters in the object code stored in catdir. Be careful and verify the content, maybe with VCATALOG, before you stash it away. You will have to verify it each time to copy it because the object may change.
I lost a migration weekend because of copying catdir and getting corrupt data.

Bill, Globally cataloged programs (the ones with the * as the first character) are stored in the catalog "space" which is really a subdirectory in the UV account called catdir. If you copy the catdir directory, I believe you will have what you need. Regards, Clif -- W.
