The file system that data is stored on is not a issue - most of the time. The fact that you are saving these files onto a non-BSD system is usually meaningless unless the filenames have been truncated/case changed (DOS loves to do this) or additional dots are changed to under-scores...eg. foo.blah.hooey.tar.gz ---> foo_blah_hooey_tar_gz . Other problems arrise if there are certain characters that are valid for filename descriptors in one system that are reserved in the other. >I use Netscape NAVIGATOR 2.0 on an NT Workstation 3.5.
