- Myself also am interested in what you come up with....
-
- Ted Morris (morrista@uc.edu) had the 'best' solution but it revolves around
- VMS which we dont and wont have.
-
- My understanding is that there is NO such solution but please enlighten me
- if there is.....I would also like VTs access (but thats secondary).
-
- May be your last point above is the only way to go. I believe the CD
- retrieval software is locked to either a MAC or PC but not both.
