Thanks for the reply. I already figured out that 'touch' does the same thing as 'vi'...it allows the file to be read. Another reader e-mailed me with a few suggestions. I originally tried "find . -exec touch {} \;", which changed the timestamp on the files, but did NOT fix the problem. Just a minute or two ago, I tried "find . -name 00* -exec touch {} \;", and a quick check of a few pages would seem to indicate that it might have done the trick. The magic of Unix, I guess. :) Chris _____________________________________________ Chris Freemesser, University of Rochester Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences / Center for Visual Science Meliora Hall, Room 244 E-Mail: ch...@cvs.rochester.edu Phone: (585)275-0786 _____________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
