If either of you (or anyone else) has some files they'd like to check out I can
try here. I've got both NT and SAMBA servers for a nework of Mac, Linux &
BillyWare clients, so I can try to save the files you send me from a Mac to a
Samba share & see what happens to the file names.

names that are too long.
This is a good question. You may run into a problem, however, as HFS+
(the default fs for OSX) allows unicode filenames. I don't believe any
of FAT32, UFS, ext2, or reiser support unicode; possibly ntfs.
If there are any solutions, even if it's only an issue of mapping to
a slightly more sensible charset, this would be very cool in a talk.
Does anyone know how to deal with this? Notably, I have several
directories in my music collection with names consisting of Japanese
kanji that always become rubbish when moved to any *nix or win32 fs.
