So you made it even harder to remove the invalid names? Why don't IBM developers understand that there may be ancient catalog entries that an installation might want to clean up? It's just STUPID (or maybe extremely arrogant) to enforce the restrictions on existing names when the request is for deletion of the invalid name. I'm not going to be polite about it. Developers have no clue whatsoever about real customer shops that have been running OS since before they were born. /Leonard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
