I may try that, thanks. However, an nsrinfo, and a grep/find for that
filename turned up nothing. Which, naturally, is par for the course. :-)
With my luck the filename given to me was wrong, or it got corrupted in
that time when my NW server was so screwed up, that none of my backups
were succeeding (which is what necessitated my completely rebuilding my NW
server), and so I don't have a backup of that.
Thanks
