The only annoying one is the rename() routine doesn't work on 8.3-only network shares anymore; it tries to rename oldfile -> X$$djren$$.$$temp$$ -> newfile, and where win98 simply truncated the long name, w2k makes the call fail. The quick fix is to hexedit X$$djren$$.$$temp$$ to X$$djren.tmp. The long fix is to change the source in libc/ansi/stdio/_rename.c and rebuild libc. -Dan Nelson dnelson AT emsphone DOT com
