Hello All,
I have not gotten to trying any of the solutions that
have been posted (which I appreciate) because of
fighting fires, but I have also gotten the following
suggestion from Rational for everyone's benefit and
comment:
-tag the VOB on NT (using snychronizer)
- do export
- cd vob
- do import
