I have a 6300+ with UNIX and Simul-task installed and I NEED SOME HELP!!
AT&T--you did a respectible job, but you reference manuals which did not
come with the system and for which no PEC codes exists to allow you to 
order the things.  At least the VAR's don't have PEC codes for them.  
Specifically, right now, I have 2 urgent information needs.

1.  When you install a MS-DOS application from the UNIX admin window routines,
    simul-task goes out and create several copies of the application, using a
    great deal of disk space.  I have decided I need the disk space, but cannot
    uninstall the application.  It assumes that there should be an uninstall
    script for each application.  How can I uninstall the application or can 
    someone tell me what UNIX and DOS files should be deleted and/or modified
    to effectively uninstall the application manually.  Because I do not have
    the information need to accomplish this, number 2 occured as I decided to
    rebuild the system to free the disk space.

2.  When I receive a piece of software I always make a back-up because Murphy 
    lived.  It has never failed that when I do not, or can not, make a back-up 
    something happens and I'm waiting for the manufacturer to send me a new copy
    while I sit dead on the tube.  I have been successful at backing up all the
    UNIX and Support Tools except the simul-task diskette and you guessed it--
    due to Murphy, it's trashed.  I have already started the process to get a 
    replacement, when it comes I want to make a backup.  Can someone please tell
    me what AT&T has done which makes prevents it from being backed up.  The
    system recognizes the copy as a copy and then asks for the original.  I 
    am not trying to steal the software--I own it.  I merely want to have the
    thing so when stupid sequences of events occur like happened this weekend,
    I can chalk up 2 hours (rather than weeks) to repair and get on with work.

Please email responses to ihnp4!we53!jlr.

Extremely frustrated!!!
