You did something, but it was not what I asked you to do. Note that I
said to run baii.exe, not clback.exe. I did not prepare clback for
testing, so I have no idea if it should or should not work. I do know
that the clback you ran had absolutely nothing to do with the test kit I
sent. It does not even contain a clback.exe.
>clback -ir K:\j504\* -type full -d \M:\fulltst0.dat -name
>C:\ba2kws_test\testset.bst
I'd have to test this but if you really used this command line, I can
understand why it might fail. The values you specified for -d and -name
don't look remotely close to correct.

It is? Why did you even bother to try this then? Seems to me it just
slows down the process.

If you started baii from the directory that contained the baii.exe I sent
you, that's the one you used. You can always check this with pstat or
top.

Why bother? As I said in my e-mail, I set up the test so that there was
no need for this. As you might guess, I even tested it to make sure it
really works.
I do assume that your LIBPATH contains a dot before the reference to the
BA2KWS directory.

This is not a problem. Everyone has their own set of abilities. I will
admit that I do sometimes wonder why folks tend to wander off in random
directions rather than just asking questions to clarify what they don't
understand or what does not seem to be quite what they expected.
A curious nature is a good thing, but without some organization it rarely
produces much in the way of good results.
Regards,
Steven
