Nope. WINDOZE 98 (not SECOND EDITION) in #ordinary mode" if there such
a thing. TCP/IP of course, they are samba drives...

Hohum... That's interesting. My m: drive is ~6.8GiB and my u: drive is
~9.4GiB. What is the server running? Mine is running Linux
2.0.something and samba 1.9.something.

Yes I think I run into the same problems with ln. A patch was
posted. Search the mail archives. I don't remember when, sorry!
(Although I never quite understood why ln went beserk.)
