The noerror option continues the transfer but the destination "file ptr" is not updated correctly. As the up Unibus Disk driver does not completely handle bad blocks this utility is certainly an important one. Thanks in advance Greg Hidley ucbvax!sdcsvax!dcdwest!greg or decvax!ittvax!dcdwest!greg or hidley@NOSC
