You can either open/read the file from dcl or  use the search command.   N The most efficient way would be to examine the image header directly, which ofO course is where the alpha/vax information comes from.  There are a few programs N around which turn the debug bit for a an image on and off.  I have a c versionG and somebody in the group (Wolfgang Moeller?) has a dcl version.  These I programs already have to determine vax or alpha in order to use the right F format of image header.  They could easily be modified to simply exit,O indicating architecture with a return code (success means vax, failure alpha or  vice versa).  I I can post my c program again if you would like, or I can post a modified ( version that does exactly what you want.   Wayne  --  O =============================================================================== M Wayne Sewell, Tachyon Software Consulting  (281)812-0738  wayne@tachysoft.xxx : http://www.tachysoft.xxx/www/tachyon.html and wayne.html  K change .xxx to .com in addresses above, assuming you are not a spambot  :-) O =============================================================================== B Jed Clampett, checking into hotel: "This place got a cement pond?"+ Ellie May: "And do yuh let critters in it?"    ------------------------------  # Date: Sun, 06 May 2001 13:24:04 GMT . From: "Alphaman" <alphaman64@nixspam-home.com> Subject: Re: VT POP3 client?< Message-ID: <UfcJ6.64036$U4.15376325@news1.rdc1.tn.home.com>  7 Jerry Alan Braga <jabraga@flanagan.ca> wrote in message . news:AAdG6.231821$Z2.2424431@nnrp1.uunet.ca...B > Visit the following www site and look at the MAILBOX for openvms >  > http://patrick.lequere.net    F Personally, I prefer Richware's VMail for most things.
