I feel your pain viz. M$. :-) If you have a choice in the matter, you might want to switch over to Netscape 7 or even Eudora for your mail and news. Netscape's had its problems converting from the 4.x to the 6.x software, but the pre-release version 7 has been very stable for me. > Because I don't want to send > MIME messages to the samba list, I send this directly to you.

It works! Merci! So it was the NMBD_WINSSERVER.OBJ that was 'bad' I guess, since our NMBD executables would appear to be identical. My sole remaining issue is to get the modified OBJ module into my library. Unfortunately, I'm a VMS baby and can't do it myself. Would you please take me through it? Kindest regards, Alder
