Re: Test environments

Correct....but a word of caution:  Be sure to check that you have enough disk 
space to duplicate the file libraries (AMFLIBx and AMTLIBx) as well as the 
program and install/tailor libraries (AMALIBx and AMXLIBx).  I have had a few 
clients that did not have a lot of available disk space try to duplicate an 
environment including the program libraries and their result was not 
good...they ran of out room!   AMALIBx is quite large and, depending on the 
number of records in your file library, so is the file library.
