Many thanks to everyone who replied to me with possible solutions to the
problem I was having with drive mappings from login scripts under Windows
98SE.
Adam Manock hit the nail on the head with his comments (see below) - it
turned out to be exactly this.
I was using Notepad to edit the login script, then using SSH to transfer
the script to the server. SSH was 'helpfully' converting CR/LF's to
LF's
for me during the transfer. Of course, when I transferred the file back
again to the local machine to look at it, SSH was converting the LF's back
to CR/LF's so it looked to me as though there was no problem!
Opening the script directly from a mapped drive showed the problem
straight away.

Andy

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
