One does have to mind that sort of thing. That '/' gets converted to a
'.' which Windows thinks is an extension. AcornC/C++ just got renamed
here to be AcornC_C++ on a not-Iyonix system.
I can see on the Iyonix a directory that is on a RISC OS incompatible
USB harddrive plugged into Vista and set as a Share in VRPC. No LanMan
involved, that is.
