Helen,

I did not follow the entire thread, so sorry if I am out of sync with
the thread.

AFAIK -R resolves to -C, -REP behaves exactly as -R on FB 1.5 in other
words.

-R on FB 2.0 refuses to continue if the file already exists
-REP on FB 2.0 delete and create a new file

Or I am missing something ?

see you !
