Naomi,

No, but from Yuri's reference in 029288 I can get a lot of information. Ex: referenced below. I don't write to the OS, I just pull it, check it against the tables that I maintain. See if it has changed, and write my comments to my fox tables.

I have not had time to revisit the question to learn how to do it in a more direct fashion to the OS.

I am pulling CVS version control tables, which have additional fields, but my routine from Yuri pulls them and adds the field and content information to the temp table which I use to make a comment history before housecleaning.
