Hi David, Try using fixtool instead. You can run this from the uvadmin screen and this will do the consistency checks that you need. This is the tool that is now preferred at version 10 AFAIK. uvfixfile also doesn't cope too well with 64bit files whereas fixtool is quite happy. I think it is titled file tool on the uvadmin screen

We have noticed some bizarre behaviour when uvfixfile is running on a select list of dynamic files. We originally copied the 9.4 dynamic files over to the new system using tar. Selecting some of these files and running uvfixfile against this select list works as expected. When we create a new dynamic file under 10.0.16 and run uvfixfile on that file by itself it works as expected. If a 10.0.16 file is the FIRST one in the select list it also works OK. BUT if a 10.0.16 file is other than the first file in the select list, uvfixfile aborts with "Invalid separation of 0x0 encoded in header. Floating point exception." and stops processing the list. Anyone else noticed this peculiarity ? BTW, if uvfixfile reports a problem such as 'file load discrepancy', is it best to run uvfixfile -fix or resize * * * to fix these problems ?
