Thanks for the tip... I did go to the pages and check them out... I could probably manage to get these patches installed, but it looks rather difficult at my current level of knowledge (definite newbie with unbalanced knowledge (I.E. strong in some areas, weak as a pussycat in others)), and I noticed a couple slightly ominous sounding bugs mentioned. I think I can wait until October 15, when 3.0 is scheduled to be released (who knows, VFAT support might even be in 2.2.7, which is scheduled for release in about a week. At this point I could care less about FAT32 support. But long file names under VFAT I could really use). -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
