Not in Kermit. The only issue might be whether the Windows permissions
(and other accessibility criteria, such as owner) on upload.log are
different from those on blah.log Could be that "Windows" cares more
about this than "DOS" -- i.e. the Console environment might not have access
the extra file info and so merrily allows appending even if the permissions
forbid it. Just a guess. Anything can happen in Windows, and usually
does.

I'd say all's well that ends well.
