The answer is probably Netview/DM or TME10 Software Distribution as they now
call it.

A kludge might be to upgrade one workstation and backup the adsm directory,
then restore -fromnode on the other clients.  The only issue would be to
restore to another directory than the current adsm one because the dsmc
would be in use.
