I would have to agree with you DON.

Please if you are a customer of EMC, write them and ask them to have a
windows developer re-write the win-version of Networker.

It is Crazy to me, to call support and have them give you command line
fixes to a GUI product.

Don't get me wrong, I think EMC/Legato support is the best support
organization I have interfaced with. They get the fixes to you and I
would definitely recommend their phone support...

But I do wish they would hire a competent windows developer to fix the
GUI side.
