Richard,

  FYI before I began talking to Eastman I asked IBM if they forsee offering
an HSM solution for NT and they said NO!

Like you I do have any desire to make my life more complicated.  However, I
do not see an alternative yet.

I have previously read other members of the forum stating that the cost of
the OpenStor product preventing it from being an option at their site.  I
am going to keep a close eye out for the cost when 2.05 is available.

Good luck,
 Dan T.
