Hi Bernard

A quick way that came up on this list awhile ago was to copy a file from a
network drive and measure the time taken.
This gives interesting results:
SET MESSAGES OFF
SET TIME FOR HH:MM:SS.SSS
SET TIME SEQ HH:MM:SS.SSS
--cache file first - adjust file sixe to give an answer or about 2 seconds
COPY networkdrive\speed.dat c:\speed.dat
SET V vstarttime = (.#TIME)
COPY networkdrive\speed.dat c:\speed.dat
COPY networkdrive\speed.dat c:\speed.dat
SET V vfinishtime = (.#TIME)
SET V vduration = (.vfinishtime-.vstarttime)
SET V vmsec =(RTIME(0,0,0,.vduration))
SET V vpause = ('This took'&CTXT(.vmsec)&'seconds')
PAUSE 2 USING .vpause CAPTION 'Speed check'
ERASE c:\speed.dat
SET TIME FOR HH:MM:SS
SET TIME SEQ HH:MM:SS
SET MESSAGES ON
RETURN
If you want to be flash store the results in a table.
