Naturally, the argument list we wanted to give to restor was about 45000 bytes. So, we increased NCARGS to 65k bytes and recompiled the system. First thing we found out was that csh "knew better" and had its own definition of NCARGS (it didn't even include param.h). However, sh didn't mind. We've been running that system since with no adverse effects. =Spencer
