Hi
	This problem has really got me curious. If I try to create a file
of the form xxxx.~xx ie. a four letter filename and an extension beginning with
a tilde. I get :-

Access denied  - F:XXXX.~XX

	If I change the length of the filename it will work. Obviously it has
something to do with the filename translation PC-NFS performs and, I think, a
conflict with the DOS eight character filename limit.

	Any ideas? Please post or email them.
	Have fun..
