Eric,

Here is what I've tested [Server 3.1.0.2 (AIX), Client 3.1.0.3 (Win95)]

1- Setup DSM.OPT so that it only contains:
     COMMmethod      TCPIP
     TCPServeraddr   charlie
     NODEname        hobbes
     PASSWORD        generate

2- Open B/A GUI

3- Choose Backup

4- Click "Modify Backup Options" and verify that compression is off
(default)

5- Create a TEST client option set containing 
      COMPRESSION    YES

6- Associate node HOBBES with the client option TEST

7- Repeat steps 2 to 4 and verify that compression is now on.

What I noticed is that even if you specify that the client *cannot* override
server the defined option the client will ignore this. This makes client
option sets almost useless.
