Default Recover data from archive


Hi,

I've been asked to urgently recover some data from a groupwise 5.5
archive file. The problem is that I know nothing about groupwise and
the company migrated away from the platform some years ago. They are
now a microsoft house.

Can anyone suggest how I can recover this data in the absense of any
groupwise/novell servers. I don't mind spending a few bucks to get this
done as its vital I get hold of the info.

-H

With a 5.5 archive, you *must* have a GW system to authenticate to to
power up the client and you need the client running to access the archive

Would it be possible to build up a new system just to recover this data?
I really need this data!

Yep, no problem - building the system would be fairly simple, but do you
have any of the old install files. The only ones you can download are of
course all GW7, which should work, but is a bit of a gap in time
