Be careful not to do *BOTH* of these at the same time, though.  You can
lose file updates if you write a file under VPIX and then try to use it
in unix.  Sometimes the old version is kept (and there is no way to get
the new version back).

BTW, the second method above makes the partition appear as a networked
drive, so if you have DOS software that won't work over the network
you'll need to use the first method.
