How would you do it in another language? In C there is the system subprogram in : can you pragma Import that? Is POSIX available in your implementation? There may be operations to do that sort of thing. Calls like dir and copy may mean calling an OS specific routine. What routines are available for the O/S you're using? Can you pragma Import them? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Heaney Software Development Consultant (818) 985-1271
