Hi Bill,

In the README.1ST and .FTP files for the fixtest, I mentioned that
if you use this fixtest to resolve IC27346 (support for file names
greater than 259 characters) you should wait for the September
maintenance before upgrading. I really should have just been more
general, and said that if you use this fixtest at all (not just for
the one specific fix), then wait for the September maintenance
before upgrading.

Despite the sequence of the version numbers, the 4.1.0 client code
was "locked down" before IC26980 was fixed, and before 3.7.2.16 was
released.

Sorry for the confusion, I will look to get the README files for
this fixtest updated on the FTP site.

Regards,

Andy

"The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked."

I downloaded and installed the 4.1 Win32 client on my W2K machine and have
the following issues:

1. I was running the 3.7.2.16 fixtest release because of APAR IC26980
"ANS1076E *** Directory path not found ***" issued during backup. Seems it's
back in the 4.1.0 release.

2. When I installed the 4.1.0 client without first removing the 3.7.2.16
client, the installation did NOT replace all the files. The DSM.EXE showed
up as 4.1, but the DSMC.EXE and DSMADMC.EXE still said 3.7.2.16 when I
started them up. I had to uninstall, reboot and re-install the 4.1 client to
get everything at the 4.1.0 level.

Other than that it seems to work find going to a 3.7.2 AIX server.
