Hi Eric,
I think you'll find evolt to be a friendly crowd, with a LOT of
knowledge collectively (I'm fairly certain there are a few perl guru's out
there, though I'm only learning myself).
It's good to see more canadian's on the list... if you ever pop into
ottawa, we should get together for a beer :).
Oh. And posts not directly related to web design/development need a 'tip
of the trade' to pay for their off-topicness, as it were (you'll likely grow
to appreciate this feature, it keeps the quality level high around here ;).
Cheers!

<tip type="Seeing shares on Windows 9x">
This is an unlikely scenario... but hey, it happened to me and took a WHILE
to figure out, so...
If you have a LOT of shares on an NT box, or long descriptions, the full
list can be too long to be displayed on a 9x machine...
The number of shares that can be created on a Windows NT computer and
displayed on a Windows 9x computer is related to the length of the share
description by the following formula:
65,536 / (CommentLength + 21) = MaxNumberOfShares
This is because the Application Programming Interface (API) that Windows
9x uses to get the share list from the NT computer is limited to a 64K
buffer. If the number of shares exceeds this, some shares will not be
listed. For example:
65,536 / (48 + 21) = 949.797 = 949 shares
</tip>
