- I have read an article in _PC Week_ (Dec. 21, p.41, col. 1) which
- discusses a new product from Novell, known as NetWare InPlace Upgrade
- Utility, which is supposed to make it possible to convert a "2.x server
- into a 3.x server." It does not affect files, and transfers bindery files
- from 2.x to 3.x format. The article also mentions the general displeasure
- in thge weakness of the previously existing NetWare Upgrade tools, which
- required things like a DAT. It is a pain. I would rather backup to my
- DAT, wipe the NetWare 2.x file server clean and rebuild. My experience
- with changing Unix and NeXTStep OSs has shown that a clean wipe is always
- preferable, when you consider performance as the key ingredient.
-
- So I hope Novell has done much better now.
-
- I also performed an Archie search, but not surprisingly, found nada. Too
- bad, my timing might simply be a little too early for an Archie listing.
-
- The article mentions that the new utility is available "free on
- NetWare and NetExpress. Is there an internet spot for this utility yet?
- Twould make a fine Christmas and Hanukah present,wouldn't it?
-
- Regards and Happy Holidays!
