I guess I don't understand why you need DIRMAP if you are running Dirmaint. Agreed, DIRMAINT's command set is one of the less intuitive items to appear in Western Civilization, but if you're constantly second-guessing your resource manager, it would seem that you're spending a lot of time and effort duplicating what DIRM already does mechanically. Could you elaborate on what it is that causes you to want to circuvent DIRMAINT? -- db
