I would have to say that
"started bothering about"
sounds _almost_ like
"generated error messages referring to"
but in that case you surely would have included more specifics such as the
text of the error messages or maybe even a vague recollection of what they
may have referred to... can you, perhaps, recreate it and give more
detail?
> thank heaven !) are these problems related to the limited ntfs
Well, I can tell you 2 things.
1) I don't have (and _never_ have had) access to a Windows-NT machine.
2) One is going to appear on my desk within the next week or two.
So, NT support will be improving dramatically. Soon. If only because I
will be stuck with it...
