Ah, but now you're no longer streaming; you've resigned yourself to unpacking the entire archive to a temporary hierarchy. Better, then, to download the .ZIP and use "unzip -aa", which unzips text files to EBCDIC. (If this were ASSEMBLER-LIST, we'd be discussing whether XR, SR, or SLR is the best way to clear a register.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
