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

Thanks Frank. We appreciate the efforts. Overall I prefer restoring files
from ADSM than arcserve. I do find it humorous that
Cheyenne has bee doing this for years without such pain( long file name
restores), of course ArcServe was painful in other ways!

I for one will cheer the day this is released and I am willing to wait until
IBM tests the daylights out of it to minimize the possible
bugs.

Thats our opinion, we welcome yours!
