We started out over a year ago with ADSM V2 and a 9710 library.  We found
out after we had everything in and ready to roll that V2 would not support
multiple slots in the CAP.  We had to wait for V3.  Now we have that problem
solved.   Life is short,  problems seem to go on forever; we try to look at
it as job security.  Hope you can solve your problems in less time than we
did.
