Jack,
Before release, we will be warning you about any template overwrite -- not
just overwrite of a standard template.
Moreover, yes, by write-protecting the file, you can prevent DBT overwriting
any template. However, in this case, you'll get the bad error message that
George originally reported on this thread: "Error opening new Template
file."

This is something I want to avoid at all costs. Would setting the flag with
chmod, I mean attrib prevent this or would DBT crash. I have long wanted a
list of file types and their functions, but I suppose the days of technical
references is long over. There is a wealth of information in the list, and
I have scrupulously saved each message. as everybody knows it is
scintillating reading, in lieu of a soporific.
cheers
Jack

As a matter of fact, Jack, that is exactly what I
mean. Not all of them, but enough to make it a
very serious worry.
Besides as I am sure you know yourself, it has
more or less become an accepted practice in
computing to warn a user if a file is to be
overwritten.
George.
