    OK John. IDK if I'm getting this right. sys$device is not defined I can 
see. So I typed sh dev dua0: which I am mounted on.

Freeblocks are 2475639 then there are Tran blocks which if I remember right 
is about 128. Then mnt count which is 1.

Now when I tried dir/size sys$library:dcltables.exe the size returned was 
571. IDK if I'm on the right track here.
    So I think I might be off on something here. I don't want to install 
shared. How can I manage that?

Thx
Bill
