I'm  happily running 5.3-Release on a dual-boot system with windows.  I 
have my NTFS partition mounted read-only on bsd so I can get files from 
windows. 

What is the safest method of writing files from bsd so that windows can 
read them ?  Should I create a FAT partition in windows and mount this 
one rw for this purpose ?
