- I found it had some erm, features, that made it a bit annoying. First,
- it does allow you to write, even though it just destroys, second, it
- treats links as some sort of hybrid directory if you copy them over
- to the amiga side, it makes no attempt to preserve permissions as far
- as I can see. Ahh well, I am rarely in AmigaOS anymore anyway ;)
