Date Of Receipt: 6-SEP-1996 14:30:39.05 From: WASTED::myrdal "Gregory Myrdal USG 06-Sep-1996 1428" To: odehelp@DEC:.zko.wasted CC: myrdal@DEC:.zko.wasted Subj: bcreate of an ascii file Hi, I would like to bcreate an ascii file which takes '#' as comment headers. Its not a sh script but it could be viewed as one for ode purposes. I did a man on bcreate and it does not seem to give me the option to pick the type of header to use, it appears that it tries to figure it out on its own. Since the file does not have a '.' extension in which bcreate can figure this out, how can I do it? Thanks in advance. -- Greg __________________________________________________________________________ Gregory P.
