Not trying to be picky, but just to set the record straight for other
readers, I think Netbuie only works with Windows NT (and maybe 2000), not 9x.

Perhaps, while we're on the subject, another reader would care to confirm
or demolish my impression that if one user accesses a file on the server
from the server, which file is also accessed by other users from client
machines, then he must prefix the filename with localhost: otherwise
corruption can occur.
