Bill,

>File MESSAGES  Type= 2  Modulo= 1  Sep= 1 

Coming across one of these in a system I'm working on always steams me. It 
has to be one of silliest and most easily avoidable time-bombs people can 
set in a system.  The difference between a modulo 11 and a modulo 1 file 
on performance is astronomical, and the disc cost of just making sure that 
every file - even one you're absolutely positive will never have more that 
a couple of records in -  has at least an 11 or a 101 modulo is totally 
negligible.
