Re: DDM over IP Problems

Those two terms were new to me, since I always used "Host"(physical
file)
and "remote"(DDMF), but somebody pointed out to me that those terms
weren't used much anymore... Source=HOST --- TARGET(DDMF) and it really
depends on "who" is referring to what. Since there is really only ONE
file and everybody including the local programs use the same file,
having
two terms makes no sense. A DDMF is still just one file accessed by more
than
one system. The "remote" users would still just call it a "file" no
matter
where it "lives"... I'm not sure where "source" and "target" really came
from.....
