Sorry I feel asleep on this one!

Version 1.1.1a has fixed a lot of these problems.

There are several items to consider when doing name changes:

1.  Some of the information stored in files, , don't actually affect  the
display of version information or product name.  This information that is
displayed actually comes for registry entries.

such as: src/config/NTVersioninfo.rc

2.  Some of the Service information is stored in the registry under ...
\Transarc\... is harder to change because the registration of the service
depends on precise names and changes have to be synchronize.

such as: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon

3.  Some of the names appear in the help menu and require the help files to
be updated.

4.  The default location where AFS is installed is affected by the
un-install script and the limitations of V5.5 of Install Shield.    There
are special DLL's in \src\Winnt\afs_setup_utils\ that depend on a certain
directory structure.

I have attempted to make both Windows 2000 and Windows 9x clients to have
consistent naming.
