Everytime when I switch to DOS after I started Wine, my DOS partition is damaged. Exactly those files which will be written by the programs I used with wine are damaged (e.g. when I'm using minesweeper the file winmine.ini is damaged). The worst thing is that win.ini get damaged everytime. The Norton disk doctor can recover all of them but it's very enerving for me...:-( I'm running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and have the normal PCFS installed and the DOS partitions are mounted under Unix. So what can I do ? Make the DOS-partitions read-only ? By the way, I get similar damaging of the DOS-FS, when I'm copying files from UNIX to DOS (not everytime but sometimes). I got no problems at all when I'm moving files from UNIX to DOS ! Where is the bug ? In FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 ? Or in PCFS ? Or in Wine ? Thanx, Udo -- Der König sagte zum Priester: Halte Du sie dumm, ich halte sie arm !
