This isn't Cobol related but if anyone knows this, I'm betting the
fine folks in this newsgroup do.

I'm doing a project for a client in Puerto Rico. They are a VSE shop.
Really had to shake up the brain cells to pull that skill back out!
Anyway, they use Westinghouse Disk Utility System to do backups and
restores. Since I primarily work off site I don't have access to any
doc. Anyone know (and I've tried Google with no luck) of a web site
that might have the doc for this utility?

Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I'll look into it. It says it replaces
WESTI/DUSP which is the utility I'm looking for documentation on.
However, it's paramter cards may be close enough for me to make use
of.

According to my sources on vse-l this product is now Maxback/VSE by Software
Diversified Services.
Here's a link:

Thanks for the link. That could be the right product, but they have
no user guide or any doc for that matter on that site.

Westinghouse DUSP is indeed now Maxback/VSE by SDS. They bought the
product way back somewhere around 1995 or so, I think. Prior to that,
since 1990, DUSP was probably owned by Blueline Software.
