(It appears to be a Native Mode program.) It's not part of FOS. File system error 45 is "Privileged File Violation". Could you be trying to copy an IMAGE dataset? (Clearly, "DT" isn't a dataset...but I didn't know if that was the real filename). If you suspect a Y2K problem (which, BTW, would seem to be highly unlikely), try: :setdate 12/30/99;time=12:34;now :tcpy ... :setdate 5/30/2000;time=12:34;now (using the right date/time, of course) <plug> Or, even cleaner: :hgdate 12/30/99 :tcpy ... :hgdte original (http://www.allegro.com/hourglass2000/hp3000/index.html) </plug> Stan Sieler [log in to unmask] www.allegro.com/sieler/wanted/index.html www.allegro.com/sieler
