It would be easiest for you to simply change the location in the three pqact.radars actions. It is possible to write the pieces into the directory structure that we use (and is instantiated in pqact.radars), but you would need to modify the Perl script to make the change. If you are good at Perl programming, then there should be no problems. If you are not, it would be easier for you and us (less support questions) if you stuck with the existing procedure and simply changed the location where the pieces and eventual reconstituted volume scans are written. re: > Thanks Tom!
