From a PowerHouse quick reference guide dated 1985 (version 4.0): 640 QDD compiled dictionary file 641 QUICK compiled screen file 642 QUIZ compiled report file 643 QTP compiled run file 644 subfile that includes minidictionary 645 QKGO execution-time parameters 646 reserved 647 reserved 648 reserved 649 interim minidictionary created by QTP Now, this was before they supported portable subfiles. I just created a portable subfile with a newer version (v8.19.C3) and found 647 portable subfile minidictionary file 648 portable subfile data file (note: the file name also has "Q" appended) And finally, for newer versions, I think since 7: 655 PHD compiled dictionary file Sorry, don't know what 650-654 are (if anything) HTH! -- Barry Lake mailto:[log in to unmask] Allegro Consultants, Inc. http://www.allegro.com (408)252-2330 * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
