| The US ASSETS team dropped support for most 'solution tool' office
ASSETS several months ago. Since then customers with them have
been on their own so to speak. But I am not sure that a real request
for help has been turned down yet.
You could try calling the ASSETS hotline - whatever that number is
these days.
Given the simplicity of the system nicknames code I would doubt that
V3.0 breaks it. It just adds a small command procedure for doing
a name translation (via a method that is still supported) and a
menu for creating dummy profile entries (which requires admin or
system privs).

| One thing or is this two things that you might need to watch out for
(and I haven't seen the System Nicknames Ex-Asset in a while) is
the increased length of the Mail Address field (up from a stunning 47
characters to a measly 256) and the sneaky change in the name of the
datafile from NICKNAMES.DAT to OANICKNAMES.DAT
P.S I thought it was a good idea at the time but when you see how many
STARS articles it breaks - maybe not.

| 341.3 | RE: .-1 no problem. Its direct to profile | SHALOT::WARFORD | Richard Warford @OPA DTN 393-7495 | Tue Mar 31 1992 15:38 | 8 |
| Nah, system nicknames doesn't touch the nickname subsystem.
It creates dummy profile entries which use a special mail destination
.CMU file to change the name to the desired name from the nickname.
Since it uses this method, it shows up in Gold L's as those show
profile entries, without any other mods.
