You can set RWE for world set on the directory by default, but have a script periodically set all files to w:RE only. There's probably a better way to do it, though. OK, I've set it up. The HECnet "intranet" read/write repository can be found on CHIMPY::[.DROPBOX]. Feel free to copy anything there that you think might be of interest to other HECnetters. sampsa
