Re: Long file names in Netware client (how does it end IBM?)

I am currently working on the client side of this.

I don't have a firm date for it's GA, but it will be 1st half
1999. We want to be very careful that we don't rush
this out and provide you with a well tested bug free migration.
We will be changing the old DOS short name into the long
name of your existing data without forcing a rebackup of the data.

Both server and client development groups have been
involved in this enhancement. We have heard your
requirement, and are responding.

Frank Ramke

Has anyone a confirmed answer on this "never ending" (I hope not) story.
Or IBM what are your plans? It gives ADSM a bad name in all those shops
where Novell is used. Other tools like Arcserve are only one decision
away. This is also in our company the most contra on the ongoing ADSM
implementation.
