Yes, that would be the easiest, but likely not the fastest. I'm dealing
with near-line storage, and upwards of 500GB or more at times. I've seen
on the Xinet www site that they have scripts to convert Helios->Xinet and
CAP->Xinet, also using something called 'kunarc' in the process (something
I'm not familiar with). I just want to go the other way with the least
pain... renaming directorys shouldn't be a big problem, its all those
.HSAncillary files and such.
