I believe COMO works no matter the flavor. BTW, I believe D3 v9 now has COMO, or at least it's in the queue because I requested it. :) Also, D3 does have files similar to type19. You don't create a DIR file in D3, you just ensure that you can read/write from a host OS path, then setup a q-pointer like this: 01 q 03 /tmp/somepath or 01 q 03 c:\abc\def This is called OSFI and I've written about it extensively, split up between this blog, the TigerLogic forum, and comp.databases.pick. You can also open directories directly from basic: OPEN "D:\MYPATH" TO FV... or use paths from TCL: SORT /home/me/foo WITH A1 NOT "X" ... Enjoy!

You can also open directories directly from basic:

OPEN “D:\MYPATH” TO FV…

or use paths from TCL:

SORT /home/me/foo WITH A1 NOT “X” …

Enjoy!
