Brett,

  Let me get this straight.  It should work if I:

     Create a node in ADSM which has a filespace of each general
     type: UNIX, Netware, MAC, PC(OS/2,DOS)  (a phantom node as it were)

     Put in backup storage under each system the client kits.

     Set up access permissions that let everyone access this node.

     Then everyone will see only the one filespace they support, and
     they should be able to restore from this to distribute the
     software.

Interesting....and cool if it does work......
