Yep - spent a week with SLEUTH one day, with an HPRC Engineer on the phone.


Also, how many times had SADUTIL pulled someone's butt out of the wringer?
(SADUTIL - StandAlone Diagnostic Utility - ya booted in in from tape, and
you could do the neatest things with it - like back up files on specific
drives because one was down and had white powder all over the place... hey,
80% was better than nothing :)

Best Regards,
Joe
