I mean, lets face it, MS Word doesnt run properly from an off line filestore, and that came from microsoft themselves (you cant suspend a notebook when editing a network file, even if the file is in the offline cache) 1. do not trust the offline file system in win2K, not with anything you value. It is adequate for a self-updating cache of read only content, but is not a valid place to create new build directory heirarchies. 2. consider an SCM system with an off-line mode instead. -steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
