I just got around to cleaning up my mailbox and noticed this posting. I am sorry to report, that archiver is indeed a personal system, one can only retrieve files that you have archived. Of course system accounts can retrieve anyone's files. There is talk of adding group support or ACL's or some mechanism to allow groups of users to archive and retrieve files. I would be very interested in hearing from people who would purchase Archiver if it had this feature, or those who chose the competition. Sorry if that last paragraph was too commercial. I am sure that I will be slapped around by it. If you want to flame, flame me personally, I will tally, extract anything juicy, and post the results. ---------------- Marty Sasaki uucp: harvard!sasaki Ziff Davis Technical Information Co. arpa: sasaki@harvard.harvard.edu 80 Blanchard Road bitnet: sasaki@harvunxh Burlington, MA 01803 phone: 617-273-5500
