The message showing in the terminal window is: MIPS: 74.891693 (AVG: 66.765968) 1 HostFS could not create directory '/media/.newsbase/!MailBox/!NewsDir/RemoteNB/Overviews/0': No such file or directory HostFS could not create file '/media/.newsbase/!MailBox/!NewsDir/RemoteNB/Overviews/0': No such file or directory 2 MIPS: 92.403366 (AVG: 67.752022) 1 I can manually create the directory 0 at that location without error. /media/.newsbase is a samba/cifs share which works under VRPC. I was thinking along the lines of lack of escaping the !s or a long file path, or a directory name of just "0" but I can create them ok in a new directory in a filer window. I'm going back to VRPC for now whilst I have some hair left! -- Brian Duffell Yarm England _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
