The actual name is EA DATA. SF, with embedded spaces. You are correct, it is where OS/2 keeps extended attributes on FAT drives. To delete it, execute the following commands in the root directory of the drive, assuming you don't have any other files in the root directory that have 3-letter extensions ending in SF: ATTRIB -S -H -R *.?SF DEL *.?SF Mark in San Angelo mdavis1@airmail.net 04/26/98, 15:46:35
