Hi Jeff

Not to hand, but here's the help from HASH.HELP and CREATE.FILE:

CREATE.FILE:  
The valid types are:
*TYPE*               *USAGE*
  1      Sub-UFD type file, for large records or source code.
  2      Hashed.  Keys end with numbers.
  3      Hashed.  Keys end mainly with numbers.
  4      Hashed.  Keys end with letters.
  5      Hashed.  Keys end with full range of ASCII characters.
  6      Hashed.  Keys begin with numbers.
  7      Hashed.  Keys begin mainly with numbers.
  8      Hashed.  Keys begin with letters.
  9      Hashed.  Keys begin with full range of ASCII characters.
 10      Hashed.  Keys are numbers.
 11      Hashed.  Keys are mainly numbers.
 12      Hashed.  Keys are letters.
 13      Hashed.  Keys are full range of ASCII characters.
 14      Hashed.  Entire keys are numbers.
 15      Hashed.  Entire keys are mainly numbers.
 16      Hashed.  Entire keys are letters.
 17      Hashed.  Entire keys are full range of ASCII characters.
 18      Hashed.  Entire keys are of arbitrary form.
 19      Sub-UFD type file, for large records or source code.
 25      B-tree.  Best for large file with small static records.
 30      Dynamic linear hashed.  Modulo with change to fit file size.

HASH.HELP:

    0  keys were wholly numeric (digits 0 thru 9)
         (Use File Type 2, 6, 10 or 14 for wholly numeric keys)
      9  keys were numeric with separators (as reproduced below)
         0123456789#$%&*+-./:;_
         (Use File Type 3, 7, 11 or 15 for numeric keys with separators)
    819  keys were from the 64-character ASCII set reproduced below
         !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?...@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz[\]^_`
         (Use File Type 4, 8, 12 or 16 for 64-character ASCII keys)
     98  keys were from the 256-character ASCII set
         (Use File Type 5, 9, 13 or 17 for 256-character ASCII keys)

Of course, always remember to account for the key structure as well as
composition i.e. what part varies the most.. otherwise you can really stuff up a
file!
