Richard,

thanks. Those truncated filenames are a b****** <g>.

Would you say that bad sectors are becoming rare as HDD's improve? I've only had a computer for a little over 2 years, so maybe I can't judge. I ran into a bad sector problem once on my HDD and somehow it cleared itself up. Happens all the time on my floppies -- threw 2 away the other day.
