Barbara Actually, in a way I cheated in pointing out that the AUTOLOG mechanism uses the CANCEL command because it does so only when the relevant server program is deemed to be in poor health. This assessment is made because of the lack of a "listening" port without which the server is ineffective. Thus the assumption is made that, if the server program can't be doing anything useful - an assumption that the server supports *only* IP-based traffic, no harm will be done by chopping it off at the knees. I'm not sure this overlaps with your concerns.
>ps: *This* installation has a very good relationship with the networks >colleagues, they're certainly NOT adversaries! :-) I couldn't resist a glance in the direction of one of our list colleagues, one of the "usual suspects", who never seems to let an opportunity go by in which to mention the lack of cooperation he experiences from one of his adjacent technical teams! Chris Mason My P.S.: Your English is excellent but there was a small slip recently of a use of "them" for "those" which corresponds to a dialect with which I am most familiar, that of the North-East centered some would say on St James's Park - *not* the formal gardens and lake to the front right of Buckingham Palace! "See them men on the top of thon hill thonder? I want 'em shifted; I divn't want 'em jostled; I want 'em shifted a't'gether." These supposedly were the instructions of the Duke to a very important section of the British army at Waterloo from a Geordie Music Hall recitation. No mention of the Prussians arriving through Plancenoit as usual!
