About what? Oh....
I don't know. I added a trace:

junk = dir(directory)
  if atom(junk) then
trace(1)  

so i could see when it happens, but it's all been legit so far. 

It was gigabytes way into the 15gig file, and since Winxp and *nixes have a
48bit series of extensions to the file operations Eu uses, praps the blockbuster
v4.0 could offer these as fall thrus if the new conditional code detects the OS
has them?
