While the stimulating conversation plays on about whether Unix is or isn't ready for prime time and how many notes can I write this program in, here is an attached humble Cobol source program that doesn't care how many files there are. Just do a file equate of :FILE LISTF;DEV=DISC;REC=-80,,F,ASCII;DISC=100000 and then a :LISTF whatever,2>*LISTF with MPE or MPEX into an 80 byte file, compile this program and run it. Those Cobol challenged will have to rewrite in your favorite language. Mike Berkowitz Guess? Inc.
