Juergen Christoffel suggested setting machine type to UNIX42 instead of ULTRIX to make FsEdit work on that host. I have tried this, and it seems to work when FsEdit'ing on Sun hosts, but still screws up on Ultrix. I have tried this in both 7.2 and 7.4 and still get a listing of the entire tree below the directory being edited. Is there anything else to try? Strip
