I am collecting information on distributed management software, in particular distributed tape backup and archive software. Currently I have the names of only two companies that market such software: BRU and AM-PLUS from Engineering Software Tools 1331 East Calle de Arcos, Tempe, Arizona 85284. REELbackup and REELlibrarian from Sceptre Corporation (formerly COSI) P.O. Box 8031, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48107.

Please email to me; I will summarize and post. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Lees A.H.
