Processing passwords

[Jaime Perry]

Does anyone know of a way to remove  processing passwords from prc.* 
files in batch AND still keep the time/date stamp of the file?   Or 
better/simpler yet, is there a way to start Filepro so it uses a 
different fppath file?  This is for a Linux box but could be needed for 
SCO 5.0.x as well.

Our accounting package was written many moons ago and, at the time, we 
had a password in the fppath file. This hasn't been a problem until 
now.  A new client of ours has an existing Filepro system and we are 
porting our package to their system which has no processing password. 
This makes coding is a royal pain as we need to vi the prc.*  and remove 
the password before we can work on it.

We have written and tested a script which will remove the password but 
we lose the time/date stamp which is important to us for various reasons 
(I would include the script but it appears to be on the Linux box that 
crashed the other day).  Our other thought as mentioned above is to have 
2 fppaths but I haven't found anything that would indicate this is 
feasible.  I hope this is clear and any thoughts/suggestions would be 
appreciated.
