DSXchange

If your files are in sorted order use searchup/searchdown its much faster.

Can someone turn this into a function at 8.1 using the New Function fascility?

I've fixed it.

We had a problem with the IIS service crashing and restarting when requests were sent to it from 6.7.1 via Weblogic under windows 2000. This only occurred after our LDAP server crashed one night. We never found the problem and moving te system to another server resolved it.
