subject: tse and salvage utility on novell networ23:48:5005/22/97

From: Hans de Wit 
I noticed a little problem using The Semware Editor on a Novell 
network. On this type of network you have the salvage command to get 
back a deleted file.  If you edit a file in TSE and save it, you can 
not get back the old file. Of course you could activitite the .bak 
mechanism. I don't like that mechanism: 
- lot of .bak files everywhere (may be I am doing something wrong)
- only the last copy of your changes is saved.
That's why I trusted Novell's salvage utility
We looked i little further on this problem. It seems that files are 
opened in Read/Write open mode. That's why you can not salvage the 
file. This mode is very useful for databases, but not for my 
program's.  If you open a file in Write mode you can salvage the 
file.
Combinations of software with other software are allways difficult. 
It is very likely that i am totally wrong.  I hope that anybody can 
help me with this little thing.
Thanks in advance
