Alex, again, thanks for the wonderful text. As I mentioned previously,
the text will go in the book. However, I would like you to clarify
one thing for me. The 'dos charset' in the smb.conf file. I don't seem
to need it. Here's an example from Linux to a Win98 machine. (this
example does show the need for 'unix charset' in the smb.conf file)
This example is long, but I felt everything was necessary to show the
facts.

What am I missing with the need for the 'dos charset' setting in the
smb.conf file? I don't appear to need this.
