The TOPS20 ftp server defaults unspecified parts of the filename to *, so just a DIR FILENAME will actually find FILENAME.*. By the way, the tops20 filename format isfilename.extension.version, its only a sometime used cpm convention that the extension contain the program version number. directory, filename, and extension can all be up to 39 characters long, and version is a number less than some large decimal number. The tops20 FTP code also contains a check so that an wildcard directorys cannot be used (presumably, this is to prevent people from using large amounts of CPU time doing a directory of the entire file system). Perhaps this restriction should be removed from the SIMTEL system ? BillW
