I didn't think so but had to ask. 
Since the data file name is limited to 8 chars and I have many with similar
names that DB starts changing the names to numbers. Now in the qwk pkt you
can't tell what the base name is, as its a number.
I don't have a work around yet.

Thanks.

I've upgraded RG to 1.30 and going to the next one!
