OK, I've now installed OpenDOS on my main PC, on which I run WfW. I do have
WfW speaking to both the Novell server and a Lan Mangler workgroup using
Microsoft's TCP/IP stack (of course, I chickened out and used my old MS-DOS 
Novell client installation; whenever I dork with something that affeccts the
Windows networking it takes me three days to get it all patched together
again...).

The only thing I've noticed so far is this: in a DOS prompt under Windows,
I cannot copy a file to another location on the same hard disk unless I
change the filename. For example,

	C:\BOOGER> COPY MAIN.C ..

gives me

	Source and Destination cannot be the same file

If I exit windows, all is well. I am using OpenDOS' SHARE.EXE instead of
MS-DOS' SHARE.EXE, which is the only place I can think of such a problem
arising. I've not yet tried using Microsoft's SHARE.EXE instead.

Any ideas?
