MFS Question (None Specified)

I am writing an MFS to track modifications. The MFS works fine and is installed on the following tables: SYSREPOSAPPNOTES, SYSREPOSEVENTS, SYSREPOSEVENTEXES, SYSREPOSMESSAGES, SYSREPOSPOPUPS, SYSREPOSREPORTS, SYSREPOSWINS, SYSPROCS, SYSREPOSWINEXES, SYSOBJ, AND all dictionary tables for our system.
When a modified/new row is written into any of the above tables, the MFS also writes the row into a table that I have created called MODS.
All is fine except when it is a new row in any of the above tables OI creates an entry in SYSREPOS. I can't seem to install an MFS on this table. I have even added a REVMEDIA record "SYSREPOS*GLOBAL" and set F1 to REVREPOS(the OS File Name) and it did not work. Also, OI will not allow me to edit the SYSTABLES table.
P.S. Also had fun with table handles on dictionary tables "TEMP_", but got it all squared away (are future releases of the table api going to do away with this approach)?
Thanks

[notag]Bryce,
The SYSREPOS table is a special case and has it's own filing system. It doesn't use RTP57 at all so sticking an MFS on it may not be possible. You may be able to edit the .DBT file and add you MFS in there, but I've never tried this ( or even considered it until 10 seconds ago ) so it may not work!
You could also shell the RTI Repository functions perhaps…
You can't modify SYSTABLES or SYSVOLUMES. They are just protected variables that OI maintains internally and presents to you in the form of a table.

It is possible that your MFS will not always be invoked. For example, if your MFS is on SYSOBJ, then how does your MFS get loaded, since the object code is in SYSOBJ?
