Eleftheria, It's easy to change the headders via email from UNIX platorms. Tell your co-owner to simply send in: get healthre (head pw=xxxxxxxxx or get healthre (head nolock pw=xxxxxxxx which is what I usually use as 95% of the time I'm the only one who ever messes with the header. I usually have a copy of the current header hanging around somewhere in case I need to make a quick change. The header arrives with the put instructions handily already in place so all you have to do is make the changes, replace PW=XXXXXXXX with the real password (I use my personal password) and pop it back. Now if you want to get and put the *entire* list (which I don't think a good idea) you might need something like that LB64 (or whatever) that Mr. Burns mentioned. I also am the only one who ever makes any changes to our filelist, and I have no trouble doing it via email from UNIX. If your co-owner has trouble, tell him to write to the list.
