Tom, I am not certain this will work, but you could try it. Do a DIRM USER WITH which will get you a copy of the complete directory. Manually add your $EOV$ user, and do the steps for inporting a new directory. Haven't done that in a while, but ISTR it involves moving some files about and doing a DIRM INITLZ command. Dirmaint may barf on this but it may well work. -- Rich Greenberg N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time zone. I speak for myself & my dogs only.
