Let me repeat, again, that changing the tag of S&F files to non-S&F format is UNACCEPTABLE as it destroys the file origin and a few of its attributes. If you have problems with RSCS (V1) file queues, you could install the NOREORD mod which solves the performance problem. If your spool is getting full, you can write a super-duper 10-lines EXEC to SPTAPE all files on the RSCS reader by doing Q R ALL RSCS and issuing individual SPTAPE commands with the spoolid. But I'd rather see your node "blinking" due to RSCS file queue problems than having the file origin changed to [log in to unmask] Please note that this would cause most mail files to be DISCARDED with a "Validity check failed" message.
