The directory consists of a series of "slots" which are filled in order as files are written. However, slots are reused when files are deleted, so a newly-written file can end up ahead of an older file. The easiest way to be sure of the order is to delete everything in \AUTO and then copy the files back one at a time in the order you want them to run. ================================================== | Michael Fischer | | Arpanet: | | Bitnet: | | UUCP: | ==================================================
