Thanks for your response -

The files are created by another company as a .txt file, zipped through winzip and ftp'd to us. I'm a mediator who just takes the files and ftp's them to the vendor who wants to actually use the file. All other companies (who send us source files) and vendors (who receive the files) have unix servers and this is the only company that doesn't even know what Unix is.

Since this is a large company with tight controls, I would not be allowed to NFS mount a PC share (wouldn't that be wonderful? Smilie)

The interest in these files is simply that I usually do a record count and put that along with the file size in notification emails to the vendors which at least helps to serve as some kind of flag when something might go wrong. But because this one company is a Windows shop that only sends files with a .zip extension, and I can't create a connection between the AIX server and my PC, it sounds like I will not be able to do a record count on the file... ?
