I use a value of 150. If you're using TOS 1.2 or TOS 1.0, replace XXX with a number bigger than the number of folders you have in all partitions in your drives, plus the number of drives, plus a few for good measure. I use 250 or so. It is *critical* to get XXX that large with this version of the ROMS, or you can trigger the problem. disclaimer: that's what they tell me, I'm just a dumb hydro-jock. ------ Greg Lindahl gl8f@virginia.edu Astrophysicists for Choice.
