Hello Bob! It *was *a good tool-set and is long gone now unfortunately. Since it was written specifically for that environment even if I still had it, it probably would not be of much use except for the concepts.
Humbly I would say zPRO is the way to go because I bet you have better things to do with your time but if you really want to tackle writing your own tools we could certainly chat about the things to focus on. You are welcome here at our office any time or we can meet up someplace. -- *James Vincent* *-- Velocity Software, Inc.* On Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 2:13 PM Hamilton, Robert <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Jim! > > IIRC, you had a good cloning tool or set of tools at your previous > employer.
