By :>release 14 it was doing an OPENJ just like anybody else. I remember when I was back at Northeastern Illinois taking the system programmers course and the computer center hid the library containing IEHLIST and IEHPROGM (moved it out of linklist - I believe this was a VS1 system) since a few students caused crashes by using those utilities. I wrote my own IEHLIST which used OBTAIN to go against the pack and used OPENJ to display PDS directories. Found IEHLIST (I think it was SYS$.LINKLIB) but by that point I didn't need it. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
