Hello all, Wine is getting solid enough that it is appropriate for some real work, however it still is failing write with write errors from MS Word. Updates, reads, edits, fonts, etc all seem to be fine. However any write causes a disk full or permissions error. I am running as root root in this case and other programs under wine write w/o error. If it is any clue the file name shows up as all caps in 8.3 format i.e. LONGFI~1.DOC as opposed to longfilename.doc. This is true for all the writes from MS Word. The partiction is FAT32 and is configured:>[Drive C] >"Path" = "/mnt/win98" >"Type" = "hd" >"Label" = "win98" >"Filesystem" = "win95" >(BTW what is the relationship of "win95" and FAT32 ??) Does anyone have any pointers or advice? Thanks, Dan Sawyer

That controls what can actually go on the filesystem, not how it is configured to wine. Linux fstype vfat handles fat12/16/32 with long filenames. Wine is only a *NIX application program. It doesn't control the host OS.> > > (BTW what is the relationship of "win95" and FAT32 ??)None. win95 is a wine filesystem type (how you want the underlying filesystem presented to the windows apps. (long filenames allowed, but semi-case-insensitive) I use it with ext2.). fat32 is a trivial extension to the msdose fat filesystem.> > Does anyone have any pointers or advice? > > Thanks, > Dan Sawyer >Lawson --oof--- ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
