Here is an updated screenshot of the "missing driver" panel. Note that the Driver column contains two strings, "SVR4" and "Info". The SVR4 tells the user that there is a URL or pathname that can be used to download a file that contains the driver (or perhaps a p5i file that can be used to get the driver from a repository). When the device is selected the path/URL is displayed in the File/URL field. The second string, "Info" is a web link (note the underline). If the user clicks on this link, a web browser should open and the driver information web page displayed. This assumes that this information exists in the DDU catalog. Hope this helps clear things up. Frank -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
