'Morning Again,

We're still working with Sun on this one (Legato dropped from this
once we said no to 7.x), but have some progress:

One person on the list gave suggestion that we upgrade our client to
6.0.3.  We tried that, and did not work initially.

After adding a seperate saveset for system32 folder, we now have the
data.  However it is not browseable (access from saveset recover
only).  A pyrric victory at best but one I'm working with for now.

Sun has looked further into the problem and they say that 6.1.3
upgrade (actually 6.1.2+) should fix our specific problem at this
point; No need for 7.x right now since we just want the basic set of
system files.  I'm in process to get it scheduled, probably in a
couple weeks (other reasons for this upgrade have surfaced anyway).

Any other suggestions in the interim would be welcome.


Thanks All,
--TSK
