There's a DOS program called "lread" (or something like that) that will
allow you to read textfiles in Linux partitions, but I don't think you
can write to them or save files to the Linux partition.

Samba doesn't allow you to access a Linux partition of a machine on
which you're currently running Windoze.  It allows you to mount _remote_
Linux partitions though.
