I've sometimes, contemptuously, AMATERSEd my .pax archive and sent that. They've dealt with that, too. Sometimes the best way to protest a stupid rule is to obey it. I've never needed to send an entire filesystem. For that, Lizette's DFDSS approach is probably best. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
