( Sorry, I had not been intending to suggest modifying a script, I thought I was just remembering files names from the past to be conformant with, that I thought/ presumed had started all zeros Empty .gz. I was presumably wrong on that if its always been the same script in use (& archives I've tried to check on for interest have been stripped to save space) ) Chris's assurance covers what was most of interest :-) "Yes, when it gets to src-9.0100 there'll be an Empty file here" Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, cumulative like a play script, & indent with "> ".
