Remember dragging any major application into Windows GUI for the first
time? It is ALWAYS a nightmare. The guys with experience coding
Networker are comfortable in a linux world. They are not windows
programmers. I believe people were hired to help migrate the product to
the new (JAVA) gui interface.

Apparently enough of us whined for a GUI interface, now we have to be
patient while they iron out the wrinkles. To my knowledg EMC has not out
moded 7.2.x so please CHILL. I am a GUI guy and I want it NOW too... But
let us not BASH the hand that is trying to give us what we want. <Grin>

*** Good things to say about 7.3.1 ***
7.3.1 Client (on Windows XP) is working Extremely well for drawing
reports off of my (Windows 2003) 7.2.1 network.

I want to thank those of you who are boldly going where WE introverted
procrastinators NEED you to go. So please keep pushing out 7.3.1 report
those bugs to EMC we are very much looking forward to a STABLE 7.3.x
installation hopefully by the fall.
