Lars,

Looks as if that has cured the problem. Still don't know why this has
started happening though. Prior to this I had created (on the HP) and
processed (on the PC) about 20 of these files without having to convert them
to byte stream files. No change has been made to MPE/iX (no new patches),
the Network or the PC application.

regards,
Robert

Most likely. Stay away from non-bytestream files when using Samba/iX.

In your case, I'd probably try using /bin/tobyte for copying the data
to the desired HFS directory (instead of plain copy or /bin/cp). This
should take care of the record-to-bytestream conversion.

Use tobyte -a or -at options, depending on your needs.

Lars.
