Hi, I forgot to mention an important observation :( I am really sorry about that and I will add it now: Even if acroread and other linux apps do not see into the NetWare mounts: if I navigate with a file browser like nautilus into the netware volumes it's always possible to select a *.pdf file and to open it with the open dialog or with "acroread <filename>" from the command line. But with linux-mozillafirebird it is not possible to do the same thing with *.html documents (maybe I have a syntax problem with that?). AND: if I save a file and I select a deeper link into the Netware tree (which appears also emtpy in the save dialog), I can write the file into that directory with acroread, but I get a message "invalid path" from Mulberry. Otherwise I can go to one of my NetWare Volumes and "cd" into a random directory. When I start Mulberry from the command line and set it's initial directory path to a directory inside of the mounted NetWare Volumes, it creates a new directory (.mulberry) there which contains a new preferences file. So Mulberry is able to create files in the NetWare Volumes in general! This fact points to a problem with the linux compat layer(?) Anyway, I really appreciate your help. Thank you very much! best wishes, Stefan
