assistance. It looks like there is a lot more functionality in the P2P
agent than I had thought. They are helping me look at better ways of
determining problems than using the log files, and encouraged me to call
their help line with any other issues I'm looking to solve.

reviewed have this capability - just not the scaled down version we got from
isoft.

errors might occur. I would prefer not to rely on the user to check the log
file, because 99% of the time there won't be a problem, so 99% of users will
quit checking.

the "pro-active notification of problems" appears to be like the manager in
Dilbert asking for a schedule of all unplanned system outages. Sandy what
kind of problems are you running into and what kind of notification are you
looking for?

Any heads up is greatly appreciated.

errors reported. I have a script in TLW that runs the Audit Raw EC function
to collect the incoming files (and a batch file to consolidate and rename
them). Outbound, it's Output Raw EC and more batch files. Since this is a
rip-n-read shop, this is sufficient.
