If you're going to use large volumes (above 200MB really) you also need to take care with the memory partition of the System 6 Finder. The default setting of 160K is easily outclassed if there are too many items on the root level of such network volumes. I recommend boosting the partition to 512K or so if you're going to be dealing with network volumes that could have more than 50 or so items in any given directory. System 7 manages this situation just fine without any help. -Geoff -- geoffb@Dartmouth.EDU - Computing Support Consultant, Tuck School of Business "Of course not all chemicals are bad.
