Thanks for this hint ... that's the way how to access EXTRACT files via
Samba/iX.

Having PerfView/NT in place on a NT workstation/server you have two choices
to access the extracted files (only extracted files can be used to analyse
non-NT systens by the NT version ... that's the same for PerfView/UX for
non-UX systems):

1. transfer the extracted file from HP3000 to NT via FTP.
     pro's:    * fast access,
     con's:    * a lot of discspace is needed on NT,
               * extract is neccessary (=> CPU time on HP3K),
               * file transfer is needed.
2. TOBYTE the extracted file and access it via Samba/iX.
     pro's:    * uses discspace on HP3K,
               * real client-server situation ;-),
               * no file transfer needed.
     con's:    * extract is neccessary,
               * 2nd file is (temporarily) needed,
               * sloooow (depends on the N/W).

If somebody is interested in, I have now two jobs in place, called EXTRNT
and EXTRSMB, I can share with you (working with MAESTRO Parms, but it's
easy to change this to STREAMX inputs or pure MPE.
