And after receiving a number of both onlist and offlist replies, the answer as supplied by Mark Baldritch of IBM turned out to be surprisingly simple. Just resize the file. Yeah, it's that simple. The resize command when executed on a dynamic file sets the minium.modulus to the modulo specfied in the resize command. -- Allen Egerton aegerton at pobox dot com PGP Key ID 0x8EA57261 ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
