It didn't have any hidden and or read-only attributes. Please read my post. The file would not even be listed even by doing an "xdir +h". (XDIR is a DR-DOS utility) It was displayed by the well-known Ziff-Davis utility DR.COM, but DR.COM did not indicate that it had any attributes. With DR.COM I could read and display the file but I could not delete it! I also had tried your tactics but they didn't work for me. The only way I could get rid of it was to deltree the directory that it was in. Very weird! Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
