Lloyd -- Thanks for jumping in. I noted the discussion thread earlier this week, but we moved offices this week, and I just did not have the time or energy to respond. Anyway, I too would have referred to the table in the Programmers Guide.
I am not sure what you mean by "GT.M version of the device utility", but I will gladly send it to you (Chapter 10 of the Programmers Guide has all the GT.M utility programs so tell me what you are looking for).
