At that point, a binary file is a binary file. When I switched to TRANSMIT I wrote my own rexx code to strip out the members on my PC. Nowadays I run my own rexx code to take every member of non-loadlib PDSEs and create a sequential dataset with an IEBUPDTE ./ ADD control card in front of it. I then download in ASCII and I can open it with notepad. If I ftp it back up, I can either run it through IEBUPDTE or more often, I exclude all and find './' in column one. From there I can pick and chose which members I want to create in a PDSE. For a loadlib I use transmit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
