[nv-l] The "\" symbol in traps fields

[Bartlomiej Grenda <Bartlomiej.Grenda@pl.ibm.com>]

NetView 7.1.4 Fixpack 1 on Windows 2000 Professional

All special symbols (including ".") that are taken from string fields from
SNMP traps are automatically prefixed with "\" symbol. When I use it
display or log some information containing i.e. IP address it makes it
almost unreadable. I remember that this workaround is related with security
issue (ability to run malicious code on NetView machine just by sending
well crafted SNMP trap), but I can't remeber how to control that. I would
like to simply get rid of these "\". Anyone remebers how to do it?

Thanks in advance.
