The program that does the copy is really very simple. It just uses two 528 byte program described files. One is overridden to the save file, the other to the physical file. Just read a record from one and output to the other. You need some simple validation in a CL program and a command for each direction to initiate the whole thing. hth Pete Pete Hall peteh@inwave.com http://www.inwave.com/~peteh/ +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
