    finding a file name in this format: xxxxxxx.sed,1

    What happens when you run this? As I see it, the ,1 ,2 etc are no longer part of the extension . . . So the process goes merrily on. Have you run a trace?

    How to "read" very large files?

    No, largely because this needs to be a single-file transfer with no intervention on the receiving system. Does the program have a sequence to show the processing options (i.e. alt-H and others). Will list.exe permit editint? I now have it installed but have not mastered using it. I don't...

    How to "read" very large files?

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. Have downloaded some and have new "opportunities" . . . In the resource kit, how might see the data in hex? I quickly looked at the f1 help, but it didn't jump out at me. Also, is anyone familiar with a utility that will allow one to copy file and insert one...

    Wizard of Id is a Grammar Nazi

    but, the language changes a little with each generation. " When I was a teen, someone not "with it" was often called a square. When my son's crowd had the same sentiment, this person was a Cube.

    How to "read" very large files?

    What do you want to do with the files? If the file is that big, I assume you're not going to read it yourself." I need to be able to read pieces of the file (in hex) to see how the file is build (which control characters are embedded, if any). Typically, i need the first several records and...

    How to "read" very large files?

    We often receive files that are too large to open with notepad, wordpad, etc. At several places i've supported, there was proprietary code that did not need to open the entire file at the start. It opened some small amount and then allowed one to scroll forward thru the data. Is anhyone aware...

    National Grammar Day

    I suppose it was the 70s or so. Often we made contact or had someone as a contact. Then it became more common to use contact as an active verb. Now it is probably more often used than "call", "write". etc. Just a pet peeve, not a fall-on-sword thing . . .<g>

    National Grammar Day

    Opinions vary . . . To me, this is like believing "close proximity" is valid/acceptable. Often used, but redundant . . .

    Past Tense Dies?

    Yup, we are now Way beyond relaxed. I'd say downright sloppy. A while back (40+ years?) Edwin Newman wrote a book titled "Strictly Speaking" that addresses many of these same concerns. From a review: "Admiring colleagues have called Edwin Newman an antipollutant, sensibly sardonic, a rare...
