> I downloaded OpenAFS 1.0.4a for Windows NT and installed it on a Win2k
> Prefessioanl SP1 box.
>
> When I tried to configure the server with Configuration Wizard, it
complains
> that the client has to be 3.5 or later, while the client that comes with
the

> Obviously we have the IBM version (3.5 or higher) mixed with OpenAFS
version
> 1.0.4a.

> How do I get around this problem so that I can do the configuration?

function NotUpgradable(pApp)
begin
     // The 3.5 beta is not upgradable
//   if ((pApp->iVer.nMajorVersion = 3) && (pApp->iVer.nMinorVersion = 5)
&& (pApp->     //iVer.nPatchLevel = 0) && (pApp->iVer.szReleaseType =
RELEASE_TYPE_BETA)) then
//        return TRUE;
