Re: DDM file on local system

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steven,

I thought the main point of DDM files was so programs wouldn't need to know
whether the file was local or remote. Why not just lose the DDM files? If
the names are different, create a logical with the same name as the DDM file
pointing to the appropriate physical file.
