Hi Listers -

This is great news, but I found a problem and I'd like to know if
anyone else has seen it or is it 'just me'! We supply sample dsm.opt
files to our clients, all of which (independent of platform), contain
COMPRESS YES. When I ran the Macintosh v3 client against one of our
working v2 options files, I got an error that it didn't recognize
COMPRESS as a valid option. When I edited the dsm.opt file (preferences
file in this case), and changed it to COMPRESSION, all was well.

Not understanding the 'short form' of COMPRESS is going to cause us
all sorts of grief when we try to upgrade. Not only that, instead of
ignoring the error and continuing, ADSM just stops...

Can anybody else validate my results?
