Viewing multiple Versions

[Michael Ober]

The problem isn't Samba.  It's that your VMS application is mis-using
versioning.  Multiple sources should have different file names, not multiple
versions.  How can you tell by looking at the file names which user did the
data collection?  You can't.

Mike Ober.
