Oops - I inadvertently sent this message to Bob earlier,
instead of the list. Apologies to all (particularly Bob) ...
No, there's no problem with that ... the server's file system
is more-or-less irrelevant, as the DOS machine's interface to
the files is via the M$ Client redirector API, not via hardware
or low level BIOS functions ...
Joe.

| Could it possibly be a FAT32 problem, where WIN9x in
| FAT32 is not

| good third party
| program like Partition Magic, or several others out
| there, and convert
| your WIN9x machines to Fat, then try again.
