Do increase the tape buffer size - especially if it is under 256 KB (well, it should probably be above 64 KB, and certainly not the default of 16 KB -- it shouldn't have been that small even back in 1988, let alone 16 years later). -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
