Hi ed,
Actually the difference is that type 1 will break long items into sub
directories and type 19 will use long filenames.
Type 1's can be a real pita when you get down to os file access as UV.VI
does.
I've never used procs so that's not it.
And as far as I can tell the CREATE.BFILE voc entry is intact in all
accounts.

Looks like CREATE.BFILE is just a wrapper for create.file. The only
difference between a type 1 and a type 19 file physically is that the
type 1 has an empty file in it named ".Type1". So maybe you replaced
CREATE.BFILE with a program that runs CREATE.BFILE under another name
and then writes the magic file, or resizes it?
In ideal flavor, creating a type 19 file is as easy as typing
"CREATE.FILE MYFILE 19" and you get a default dictionary size, so maybe
you replaced CREATE.BFILE with a proc?

Subject: [U2] CREATE.BFILE filetype
Stupid brainfart question (?) :
we had things configured so that CREATE.BFILE created type 19
files. sometime recently the command has reverted to creating
type 1 files.
I can't remember how we got the type 19 behaviour so I'm not
sure where to look for the culprit or how to change it back.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this ?
The problem surfaced when UV.VI stopped working for items
with long names - again :( I fixed the issue here by changing
CREATE.BFILE to CREATE.FILE 19 to force the file type to 19.
