Which OS are you running the 7.3.1 server on?

I just gotta wonder ... is 7.3.1 working well on any platform?

Does anyone on this list have any positive things to say about 7.3.1?


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 theproduct to

the new (JAVA) gui interface.

As far back as 1998 Legato had both dedicated Windows and dedicatedJava programmers. There is actually quite a bit of Windows and javaexperience there. The only gui that was written by the client/serverengineers was the original X windows gui (well, and nsradmin, myfavorite).

7.3 apparently reflects a re-structuring of a lot of things alongwith a new GUI. So, yes, it will take some time to settle out. Butit's not because C programmers are suddenly trying to write java.
