Re: Too Many Files ?

Dear Andrea,

I was not expecting such a rapid response !. Yes, adding that extra
line does seem to have helped. I still had to reduce the number of
files a little, due to a memory allocation error, which is probably
related to the space on my local machine, but it is working now.

Thanks,
Helen.
