Sorry to add to the noise (red > face), will look much more carefully next time. > kent@lloyd.uucp I was fixated on the working directory question and did not read the original posting well enough. Sorry. As both Tim Maroney and Larry Rosenstein state, the Directory ID from -616(A6) is moved to CurDirStore when Standard File is examining the volume for locked and read-only and such. I usually follow up on these things by electronic mail, but I'm off on the Internet and not directly on uucp, so these *.uucp addresses are just not realiable from here. I'm sorry for the clutter. Offhand, though, I would think these technical questions are a LITTLE more relevant to a *.programmers newsgroup than legal discussions of contract clauses or tabloidal stories about stolen source code. In any case this is a fine newsgroup and I'm glad its available.
