Undoubtedly the long way round, but it works! None of the Win98 machines on
my home network are listed as shared volumes under 'local', and I can't
figure out why, but I can connect to any of them using smb:// etc...; life's
too short, so whatever works is 'good enough' for me - though it would be
nice occasionally to pull a file off the Mac rather than have to push it to
the PC!

Yep, maybe an OS upgrade/new machine is in order - seems a bit excessive
just to pick up the odd file, though!

Many thanks for all responses
