That sounds interesting, but it would need someone to write 
idiot-proof instructions before people like me could do this. :-(

Chris has already explained the name. I can only repeat that Lanman98 
version 2.00 works faultlessly (so far, at any rate) here. The main 
problem that people are still reporting about the older LanMan is the 
impossibility of transferring big files. As an experiment, I 
transferred a 48 megabyte file from Iyo to XP using LanMan98 2.00, and 
had no problem.

Go on, all you people, give CJE some money :-)

With best wishes,

Peter.
