I'll look up FILETEK on Monday. $250,000 is not cheap though. Like I said in an earlier post, we can buy a desktop 3490E drive, software, and a connector to a PC for about $10,000. When I told our management about that, they thought it was too expensive. >> Yeah, one of those things. May not ever need one but what's the consequence of losing one? Lawsuit, SOX, regulators, stock holder's inquest. The current Naspa has a niece article on Datastage TX that could come in useful on a running system. I'm trying to envision what we're trying to save/copy. If it's program level data with Packed decimal and Floating point it's gonna have to be converted by something or someone. You'll have to know the format of every record of every file. Guess another option would be a FLEX-ES system in the closet with a dongle and a tape drive. Who would know? Think last time I looked _www.filenet.com_ (http://www.filenet.com) went with FILETEK but haven't kept up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
