Extending Files

[Tim Fischer]

Hi Alan,

I'm not really sure what you mean.  What is the (name) supposed to be?  
Qualifier name?  X1/X2, etc?

I'm forced to use extended files as my key files are too large for 
FilePro to handle (over 2GB).  From what I understand, this is really 
the only alternative.
