Re: [d-e-a-t-h () GMX NET: ASCII Char 255 crashes a network]

[nwp () REDSHIFT LEMON-COMPUTING COM]

Wahrscheinlich benutzt du WinNT4 and Netware 4.11 (intranetware?)
benutzt du den Novell Client? (welche version?)
Normalerweise reichts das volume zu unmounten, vrepair und schwupps repariert.
Filenamen in Netware filesystems are saved in unicode (UTF-8) 255 is the
indicator of extended character.... if it`s not a valid unicode you break a lot of things (seems like you break winnt 
too ;)))) ).
You can change this behavior with one of the billion SET options (see novell knowledgebase for the syntax).
