The new issuse is black covered from Digital Press "VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures". The chapter (8) mentions special cases and what happens if a certain number of checks happens in a certain time. There is also a field service book (A small format handbook they are given) that is full of numbers and codes. The guys at RDC are also usually *very* good at picking apart stacks and codes. Often the local guy is too "proud" (stupid?) to call for help, but a call to Colorado can often speed things up enormously. Rg ------- -------
