StarView 6.1 has an improved look and feel and a revamped help facility. Help is available where you see this icon . To inform users when there is activity going on behind the scenes, the StarView logo in the upper-right corner flashes while StarView is waiting due to database communication. Users are now able to update archive information using StarView. The Retrieval portion of StarView allows users to change their archive password and verify their shipping address when a tape is requested.
Users also have the option of either a dat or exabyte tape.
For users who often search for data using the same query, StarView now allows qualification saves and restorations. Users may also import a file of dataset names directly into Retrieval and bypass the search process. StarView also offers multiple record selection using the standard shift-click technique. 6.0 saved requests are dated in the previous month. First JAVA application released.
