I initially experienced a problem with the VERIFY pass not working, but that problem has been resolved. I still have a problem with the Tapesys online history information being incorrect. The tape number for a specific file may be recorded incorrectly. Besides that, the CMP software works great. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The opinions expressed are my own, and not that of my employer.
