> Hey James. I didn't know if you were on the tru64-unix-mangers mail list....if so, I apologize for sending the note twice......but I was wondering if you could possibly help out with what I've sort-of explained below. One thing that may be useful, that I left out, is that the file is about 2 GB. Thanks.
