Donna - I am still in the stone age - with my Classic 42 - but maybe I can
help. I think DBUTIL just looks at the root file - and purges what the root
file tells it - so it shouldn't matter how big the data set is. If you guys
are just joining the 20th Century what does that make us ;-) If MPE (or
MPE-ix) allows a file of X-size you should be able to purge it...
