Re: Getting source to old box

   Using FTP to accomplish this would require a seperate put or get operation
   for each member of each source file.  It seems that by far the easiest
   method here would be the previously stated DDM one.  The earliest release
   that you could save for on a v5r1 box would be v4r4m0, so the save/restore
   option isn't viable either.
