Thanks for the reply. A couple of follow-up points:
1. wine is being run from root
2. many apps seem to be able to perform writes without the issue
3. it appears both excel and word have the problem
(ps I tried to change the mount permissions and was unable to effect them at all.)
Thanks,
Dan

Wine is getting solid enough that it is appropriate for some real work,
however it still is failing write with write errors from MS Word.
Updates, reads, edits, fonts, etc all seem to be fine. However any write
causes a disk full or permissions error. I am running as root root in
this case and other programs under wine write w/o error.
If it is any clue the file name shows up as all caps in 8.3 format i.e.
LONGFI~1.DOC as opposed to longfilename.doc. This is true for all the
writes from MS Word. The partiction is FAT32 and is configured:[Drive C]
"Path" = "/mnt/win98"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "win98"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
but how is it mounted? That controls what can actually go on the
filesystem, not how it is configured to wine. Linux fstype vfat handles
fat12/16/32 with long filenames. Wine is only a *NIX application
program. It doesn't control the host OS.(BTW what is the relationship of "win95" and FAT32 ??)
None. win95 is a wine filesystem type (how you want the underlying
filesystem presented to the windows apps. (long filenames allowed, but
semi-case-insensitive) I use it with ext2.). fat32 is a trivial extension
to the msdose fat filesystem.Does anyone have any pointers or advice?
Thanks,
