I don't know if they fixed it in 4.5, but we're using 3.4.1 and I can't
use the Java GUI because it doesn't play well with my CDE settings on my
Sun workstation.  I don't do Windows, so if the Java GUI in 4.5 is as bad
as it is in 3.4.1, I'm going to have to start getting *really* familiar
with the command line options.

It might be a good idea for the Veritas reps reading this list to take
this Java GUI negative feedback to their superiors.  Let them know that
there are a good number of us who use the Motif GUI, like the Motif GUI,
and are not happy about it disappearing.

As for the Windows GUI, there has to be a reasonable alternative to it,
because contrary to certain egomaniacs with grandiose opinions of
themselves, the world does not revolve around Windows.  It amazes me how
many companies seem to think that all the Unix admins have a Windows
machine on their desk.
