Paul, Thanks for the RAMDISK suggestion, but it is not I/O's that are the constraint (although they are a large consideration). It is the size of the minidisk required and the fact that it will only occasionally be used. And, we are not a heavy user of TDISK, so the largest available is only 100 cylinders of 3380. Scott, Thanks for the pointer to SHOWFILE. I will request it shortly. Does it require that the entire file be in memory simultaneously? That is, does it read the whole file into memory prior to outputting it to some device? Does it give control over buffer sizes on tape? Does it handle standard labelled tapes? Can two or more output devices be specified for a single input? Should I RTFM rather than asking all these questions on the list? Dwight
