I've asked IBM about this through the Defect Support Hotline and it eventually got passed back to my local SE. Now I'll give "the net" a chance to help. Anyone who worked on the PCSIM and monitors this group is invited to answer! :-) When executing an 'ls' of a directory located on a CD-ROM under a UNIX shell the files show up with a ";1" appended (or simlar). An example is with the "info" disc (/usr/lpp/info/En_US/sys.sys;1). When executing a 'dir' of the same directory under PCSIM, the file is listed, but naturally without the ";1" (sys.sys). However, the PCSIM cannot access any files from the CD-ROM. The error is something like "file not found". So what? Well, I can create a file named "sys.sys;1" in another UNIX directory (not a CD-ROM file system, of course) and execute a 'dir' from PCSIM and the file is not displayed, as one would expect, because there is no mapping for this file name. So, now which piece is broken? Is it the CD-ROM file system? Is it the PCSIM? Something entirely different? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris McCoy : INTERNET: mccoy@acn.purdue.edu UNIX Systems Programmer : UUCP: ...!ecn-ee!mccoy ACN, Purdue University : VOICE: (317) 494-8333 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
