Re: PC-DVD Drive & ADDIMGCLGE

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think my problem is that I have files that are not in a .ISO or .BIN.
They show up fine via wrkoptvol where they might have been created natively
on I, I can drag an drop them to a IFS folder and add them as image catalog
using stmf's but I don't get the same result(s) as I do loading it natviely
and adding it using opt01.  I am going to attempt to convert the dvd on the
pc side to an .ISO, paste it then try it.
