Thanks for the note. I am copying all of the files in the fids directories. All *0 and *1 are being copied. I didn't change or rename any of those files either.

Question: Do I want my empeg to be in rw or rwm mode when I start this process? I don't know the difference...

Yes, both /drivex/fids subdirectories are totally empty when I begin.

- Thanx
