You have maybe just saved my hide. I never realized that you can't write (safely) to
an NTFS formatted drive. I have a question though that may be related. I had a bunch of
my old Bourne shells on floppys and I was making them compatible with Linux BASH
and I discovered that BASH had written some of its echo stuff to the shellscript file itself
so that instead of an updated shellscript I now have a corrupted shellscript on floppy.
Any comments on that?
