    Samba runs on a large number of Unix variations and tries to emulate M$ networking. Since M$ networking is available natively on Win98 and XP (+ the others), why should anyone want to write a free third-party package for Windows?
    Maybe there is something significant here when you talk about 'mangling filenames', but the M$ implementation is by definition the reference implementation and the one that Samba has to be able to handle. Or have I missed something fundamental here?
