Does this version also fix the Win98 name mangling issue? <QUOTE> >From Jan-erik Söderholm again : > A problem with directories with more than 8 characters and Notepad/Wordpad with Win98 client. That's very true too. It's due to one of my "optimizations", which was not so good after all, and which is now useless anyway. I was not aware of this bad effect because I have no Win98 clients. It will be fixed in the next release. </QUOTE>
Thanks for all your hard work on SAMBA VMS.

There is a new release of Samba/VMS 2.2.7a at the usual location http://www.pi-net.dyndns.org/anonymous/jyc/ This release supports ODS-5 file system, if (and only if...) you run VMS Version 7.2-1 or later, and you have downloaded and installed the latest CRTL patches for your version, which you can find at http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/openvms.shtml This release should fix most problems you may encounter with ODS-5. For example, I suspect that the Excel "save as..." and "New Excel..." problem that was reported a couple of days ago by Carl Perkins should be fixed with this release (providing that Mr Perkins uses ODS-5, which I guess is true). Enjoy... Jean-Yves Collot
