Mike,
We used to >keyLmth and copy a set of index.A etc. files that we saved as start
indexes when the file was blank back. Of course, you can rebuild just as easy
with a blank file.
What about just purging all the records with an output process? Do it in
reverse record number order and they will add from 1 to whatever...
