Re: [nv-l] Wrong version

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Well, I'm at a loss as to where to tell you to look at the moment, but that is the reason why it was removed from the GUI and from the security files
The 7.1 Release Notes also list Backup, Openmon, XMP, and noniptopod as deprecated.

Hi James,
Mebbe I've missed it, but the only thing I can see mentioned as 
deprecaated in the 7.1.4 Release Notes is Submap Explorer.  I still have 
an xnmloadmib2 in ?usr/OV/bin........
Cheers,
Jane
