Hmmmm... time for an electronic show of hands! How many listers are
using ADSM on VM (be it version 1 or version 2)? Will not having V3
force your company/institution rethink ADSM as your backup solution?

My official title is 'ADSM Systems Programmer' and I just had cards
made - it'd be a shame to have to throw them away....

Shy listers can respond to me privately.
