Has anyone tried to test onarchive on a machine that has had the clock moved forward into the year 2000? I tried it on an RS/6000, AIX 4.3, Informix 7.22.UC2 and received a "Catastrophe in realloc: invalid storage ptr" error. I tried the same process before setting the date forward and it worked fine. Has anyone run into this same problem? -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own

In my view, any attempt to use onarchive should be answered by the message "Catastrophe in choice of backup product" Sorry that this flippant reply doesn't address your serious question, but it allows me to get some of my hatred of this execrable product off my chest.
