Yes, the REVERT.EXE was compiled using the LWW-REVERT package on the
freeware CD.

Me? I'd definitely look at replacing REVERT with the following DCL...

$ RENAME file.typ;* RENAME.TMP;
$ RENAME RENAME.TMP;* file.typ;

I believe that you're DCL method is better for my application and is
certainly more portable. Using DCL rather than revert.exe will, I
believe, ensure that incremental backups work correctly.

So, for this particular application I am convinced that I do not need
to use revert.exe. I'm still a bit confused about "why" this happens
in the batch queue the way that it does, but haven't taken the time yet
to look closely at the revert.c code. My original uneasiness came more
from not understanding the cause of the behavior than the specific need
to rename files. I wanted to be sure that my assumption of images
executing in-line during batch job execution was correct (i.e., that
VMS wasn't spawning sub-processes). I now feel more comfortable about
how it works and have learned quite a bit to boot (i.e., how to analyze
image execution).

Thanks to all for the help.
