So the file "davidpilling" becomes "davidpilling/dpd"Windows will recognise it as an Ovation Pro file. You should not see any file type code, but the file type will be present still AFAIK.
In VA create a new directory called ROPC in a suitable location on your VA harddisk. Put this on the RiscOS desktop. Next in Windows find the ROPC directory and make a shortcut to it on the desk top. This now gives you a way to transfer files between VA and the PC, by putting the files in the ROPC directory.
I hope this makes some sort of sense. Paul S. -- Paul Shayler M3TSF/G6TSF Running the Internet accelerator ONSPEED. Details at http://www.onspeed.com
