Dear Rod,


As far as I could tell the D:\sd\08\01002\00\00 schedule
looked normal.  However, about one year out, the schedule
changes from having no prefix in the initial columns to the
following.






         7November 29, 1999            Monday
         7November 30, 1999            Tuesday
    3852 7December 1, 1999             Wednesday
    3852 7December 2, 1999             Thursday




The 3852 prefix continues until the end of the schedule
sometime in 2003.


Scandisk revealed no problems on any of the drives.


Using the command for creating a zip file in your response:



C:\SD\10>z P -a -r -t100198 ds d:\sd\08\01002\*.*


created a file P.zip in the sd\10 directory.  I expected a
file named ds.zip, so I am not sure if it worked correctly.
In any case, I have attached the p.zip file for your
investigation.


By the way, I understand the state is phasing out the
mt.gov suffix on our email.  It still works, but


wwetzel@state.mt.us


is the new convention and should probably be used in the
future, since I don't know when the old suffix will be
dropped.


Sincerely,




Wayne
