I have been using FORTRAN open statements for 2 VMS versions to read QUOTA.SYS files in a completely non-standard fashion with full knowledge that the format can change on me at any time. I open the files SHARED and READONLY and use the following fields: bytes 5-6 Member # of the UIC bytes 7-8 Group # of UIC bytes 9-12 disk usage for this UIC I also know this value may not be EXACT because of cacheing (sp?). SO WHAT? Well, I don't know. Can anyone tell me that this is bad or harm- ful? Geez. It sure is a H__L of a lot easier than constructing $QIO calls or worse yet program in MACRO. {When in doubt read the manuals?!?!? Is this a pun?} {...I don't have anything...since I don't have you - B.B.} From The Great Zar (In His Guise As Dan Zirin) ...a raving lunatic...
