Title: RE: Document scan and retrieval (looking for software)

Could be. Whatever it is, it's ancient history
:-)
You know Tridge originally wrote samba to communicate with
DecNET, and was surprised to discover that it could be used to communicate with
MS too? When his company retired the PDPs or Vaxen (can't remember...) he was
going to drop it and was surprised when users said not to!

I
thought smb was simple message block?
I
haven't googled it, just from memory...

"Included with" and "part of" aren't the same thing.
That's why the samba team dumped smbclient from the samba package!
(but put it back when too many people moaned.)
By the way - "smb" is an IBM acronym for "Server Message
Block" so even the fact that the names are similar is no evidence that they
are part and parcel of the same thing. They just happen to have the same
ancestor way back, like a load of your cousins share the same surname as you
...

Actualy smbclient is part of samba and works quite nicely in reading
and writing to windows shares. smbmount is only available on linux samba
installs. If someone would like a couple UVBasic programs to "put" and
"get" via smbclient I'd be glad to send them along.

If you want to use a unix *client* to access a
Windows server, you need smbmount and friends, which are not not not
samba. If you want to what you suggest, using samba, you need to get the
pcs to save directly into a nix directory which samba has exported to the
network, rather than getting a nix box to monitor a windows
directory.
