Hi Richard,
That's a relief! My customer has Transcend 4.1 but is considering upgrading
to version 4.2 (for Y2K compliancy). Do you have to do what Steve (Thornhill)
did - trick Transcend into thinking it's running on a earlier version of
Netview (4.1)?
Quoting Steve :
" On the Transcend side of things. I am running version 4.2.1 and
Netview 5.1 without any problems (so far). The install for Transcend
lets you change the TEM_OV_VER to a lower number to allow it to
provide 'compatability'. "
Thank you...
cheers,
Jeanie
