Excelent news.

</div>There is at least one other way to extract the data, without needing =
to<br>
set up a server. You can use the 'voldump' utility to construct a v=
olume<br>
dump from the /vicepa data, and you can use afsdump_extract to convert<br>
the volume dump to a tree of actual files. You'll still probably need a=
<br>
unixy machine for this, though.<br>
<br>
'voldump' is a part of openafs, and you should get it with the open=
afs<br>
packages for your platform. See<br>
<<a href=3D"http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/8/voldump.html" target=3D"=
_blank">http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/8/voldump.html</a>><br>
<br>
'afsdump_extract' is part of "dumpscan". You can either u=
se the copy of<br>
dumpscan that's in the OpenAFS tree, or you can get it from here:<br>
<<a href=3D"http://grand.central.org/dl/software/dumpscan/" target=3D"_b=
lank">http://grand.central.org/dl/software/dumpscan/</a>>, or there'=
s also a tree<br>
