After initializing the entire database, about 10% of the data files were 0 length. Initializing again resulted in about the same number of 0 length data files, but in different groups. I spent about a day tracing through initializing the database in nnmaster with sdb, but I never caught it zeroing a data file. Since then, nnmaster has run without problems. I never found what caused the problem, and why it did not occur while running nnmaster under sdb. I suspect, however, that if I tried to reinitialize the database, the problems would reoccur. -- Bob Finch bob%csispt.UUCP@unicorn.wwu.edu AlphaSoft +1 (206) 671-6214
