We don't want to teach VM sysprogs to accept gifts from strangers like that.... I use VMFPLC a lot. At least I can scan the file before loading it to disk. But what I normally would want is the full FST info to see whether it would fit on disk and whether it is different from what I am going to replace. I wrote a pipeline stage that displays the contents of a VMARC file in LISTFILE style. I probably should do the same for VMFPLC. Another option is netdata format. It's known to be F 80 so record boundaries can be restored as well. Back in the old days, the Piper and myself exchanged files as netdata | encode64 inside mail. The mail agent (on CMS) would pick the files and stuff them in my reader so normal CMS commands could be used to handle the files again. One of my co-workers wondered where the "Received from JOHN at CPHVM1" in his NETLOG came from :-) Rob
