It would E confuse the aliase name and then the outcome was as you have noted to & restart the server.   I don't rememberL if there was a workaround, beyond running a single Pathworks member cluster, but I'll try to remember.    MikeG       8 GianniDajevic <giovanni.dajevic@its.it> wrote in message% news:8tr9js$t16$1@nntp.weblinea.it... K > We are running pathwork server 5.0F on a cluster of two Vax 4000-705A and  a  > Vax 4000-105A, using Vms 6.2.  > L > A group of clients ( win 95 ) share a resource using the cluster alias.

(extend the lines to perhaps 99 characters per line).  L Then send it often enough to duplicate the problem 3 times. You will then beN able to compare the results with the original and have a very good idea if theJ files "break" at the same place. It should also be able to tell you if youI lose/corrupt the same number of characters at intervals that more or less / match (eg: lose 20 characters every 1000 lines)    ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2000.617 ************************
