Try "jrf -R FILENAME"   .. The order seems to matter...

Thank-you Simon. I just checked my file, and from just eye-balling it, I figure about 250 bytes per item, so I can lower my size by about 75%.

I tried the "jrf FILENAME -R" but didn't get any report. Using vers. 4.3.10 on xp-pro I was in the folder where the file exists.

    Good Day to you all:

    I am about to set up a new account and have a couple of questions
    regarding file sizing.

    1/  Is there a dict item I can use to see the size of my items in
    a file ?  For example.... "LIST FILENAME size"  which would show
    me the item ID and the size of the item.

LIST FILENAME *A9999     will work.

    2/Once I have a look at the items sizes, I assume I can do the
    following to create a file with the approximate size.

    For now, lets assume that there are 1000 bytes per item.  Each
    bucket holds 4096 bytes, so approximately 5 items per bucket.

    67000 items/5 indicates 13200 buckets

    so.... CREATE-FILE FILENAME 3 13200  should do it.

    Am I correct ? or is 13200 too much?

It sounds reasonable. Fill it with data and then use jrf FILENAME to resize it.

    Dave.
