Jon,

For those that do not shudder at executing something from a S/36EE, what whould 
be
the chances of IBM expanding FROMLIBR to support 10 character names?

This would permit someone the ability to create a physical file, with member
delimiters, which could be restored properly (subtypes and all) without ANY

programs.

Just a thought.
