Help!  Our \public directory has just completely disappeared from a normal 
dir command given at DOS.  It also does not appear when using filer.  I can 
change directory into it, and back out, but very few things will work inside
it.  Flagdir can't find the directory (something like sys:public unknown 
directory).  Grant, revoke and remove all three die as well.  I can (and did)
copy the files out of the directory, then tried to remove it.  Rd will not
let me remove the directory.  (The standard invalid directory, directory not
empty... error).  Nothing else seems to be affected, but we're a little
worried.  Any help would be appreciated!  (I'm trying to do this from a 
supervisor equivalent account).

We're running revision E of ipx and xmsnet4, and are running
Novell SFT 2.15C software.  We're connected via token-ring, and are using
a PS/70 for the file server.  A standard 55 meg drive.  Again, any advice
would be appreciated.

-Jeff
