RE: Changing Product Numbers -- SYSTEM21

Does anyone know exactly where this Technical Reference is located?  We do
not use Explorer but I have a CD titled "JBA Explorer" "JBA System Manager
Update" "June 1999 Edition".  I can not find any technical data on this CD.

Thanks for the help.

P.S. - Regarding the changing of product numbers.  I'm sure you have already
thought about this but don't forget to consider any data that you have
already archived to tape, etc. with the old numbers.

Dear All,

In response to Dan's post, I believe that the Technical Reference is bundled
with System 21 Explorer.  It should be available in the June 99 release or
later.  If you are on an earlier version of Explorer or are interested in
the Technical Reference alone, you should contact your GEAC Enterprise
Solutions Project Manager and request it (Explorer should be free of charge,
as it is the standard GUI for System 21).  Of all of the PC utilities JBA
have written, the Explorer package (including the Technical Reference) is
one of the most impressive.
