Re: Y2k, OV/400 & Shared Folders question

Your SysOp is confused.  There's no problem with shared folders.
And yes, OV/400 got a reprieve to "the release after V4R4".

Subject:  Y2k, OV/400 & Shared Folders question




This was sent to me by a colleague:

This client is using V3R7. My first comment was that I was
sure that V3R7 (like V3R2) was Y2K compliant. I also said
that V3R7 is obsolete and should be upgraded to V4. I
told him that I knew nothing of OV/400 not being Y2K
compliant and it was being phased out because Domino
was a much better solution (I also seem to remember a
recent magazine article that said OV/400 had been given
a repreive). I don't see how the demise of OV/400 has
anything to do with the QDLS file system anyway.
Can anyone shed some light here?   TIA
