There isn't anything that TSM's built-in library management has that Gresham offers. Indeed, getting multiple TSM instances resync'd with Gresham can cause (temporary) inability to use the library during that resync. Stability isn't usually an issue with either TSM library management or Gresham. Gresham requires additional administration that TSM's library management doesn't need. And TSM's library management doesn't have an outrageous price tag. (You'll still need to use ACSLS, of course.) -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) CDW Berbee System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com
