Possibly, the above command merely created an object deck, and not an executable file -- but I am a layman as regards IBM main frames: As mentioned, my little program works well under MS-DOS (PC's) and VAX/VMS with the raw list file retrieved via the standard command GET list_name (with or without the NOLOCK option) and, once arrived at my VAX/VMS site, retrieved with the standard, local JNET RECEIVE command. The syntax provided in the above quoted posting seems to suggest, though, that it was not issued on a VAX/VMS or MS-DOS system; indeed, via the command SEND NODENTRY NCSUVM to [log in to unmask], it appears that ncsuvm.cc.ncsu.edu is the registered Internet alias for NCSUVM.BITNET, an IBM 4381-M12 machine at North Carolina State University (you can also find this out by sending SHOW ALIAS NCSUVM to any LISTEARN site, e.g., [log in to unmask]). Since I will not be available after the end of this week, I'm afraid that I cannot give any further support: the s/w was provided `as is', and anyone having problems with it would be well-advised to talk with local FORTRAN and networking gurus. Portability of FORTRAN and similar languages between hardware platforms is a classical problem by now, especially as regards I/O. With kind regards, Herman J.
