I sent a captured file directly to Richard.

On this Friday, I wanted to share the following...

While doing the capture for Richard, I was "able" to try to open
different files a few times... here's what Windows 95 complained
about, enjoy!

   Word cannot open the document. Try one or more of the following:
   - On the file menu, click Open to open the document
   - Make sure the document has a .DOC extension.
     (\\ALKONOST\...\CONFIG-SAVE-PROCDURE.DOC)

While trying to open another file...

   - Word failed reading from this file (CV-belanger-EN).
     Please restore the network connection or replace the floppy
     disk and retry. (I clicked "OK" and then ...)
   - Word has lost data due to a bad network connection or missing
     floppy. Documents relying on this data are going to be saved
     and then closed. (I clicked "OK" and then ...)
   - Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error:
     C:\RESCUED DOCUMENT.TXT


Notes: 1) 4 out of 5 times Windows 95 just hanged when trying to
           open the 1st file... this time it did not hang?!?!?!
        2) After doing the above tests, I mapped another drive from
           another Samba server not compiled with "sendfile" support.
           I was able to open the files properly...

Cheers,
