Hello, Thank for the response. I do not know what is the previous error. I am checking the list, but is not going to tell what is the error. I cannot scroll back I was speaking about the logic of the order of the file are taken from the directory, Not alphabetic ordering not date ordering. Then, I cannot guess what is missing. It is an emergency archive, because the disk is failing. =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.
