I have to admit that this was a WAG (wild ass guess), but did you read the part of my message where I asked about "file versioning" under SCO Unix? Here's a quote that ties this to file visibility: "On traditional UNIX systems, once you have deleted a file, you cannot retrieve it, other than by searching through any existing backup tapes. The SCO OpenServer system undelete command makes this process much easier on versioned files." ... "NOTE: File versions created in this way will always be visible, independently of the value of SHOWVERSIONS. However, when the filesystem is mounted with versioning enabled, file versions created using undelete -v will not be visible."
