I will try PORTABLE and the zoned idea and get back to u all ... The
suprtool files are jus flat files. Similar to powerhouse , suprtool let
us to maintain structure of the data file with the help of the command
"LINK" that will create teh dictionary for this flat file,while creating
and populating the flat file ,  the dictionary file will have the
extension .sd..


Thanks and regards
Subashini
