Based on an earlier post I saw, and also based on the fact that I'm tossing my VAXes in lieu of some spiffy Alpha's next week.... I recently resurrected the "NOPE" utility. A cute, but VERY handy system manager tool. Basically, it displays files that _WOULD_ be purged *IF* you did a purge (and it lets you use wild cards, filespecs, etc). I'm submitting it to the next generation of the Freeware CD, but if you want an early copy, ftp: anonymus ftp-- axp1.cpg.mcw.edu file: nope.bck (or nope.zip) URL: ftp://www.cpg.mcw.edu/nope.zip Enjoy.
