Sure there is a way, sort of.

Look for a file called 'ext2tool.zip' on a Sunsite mirror.  It allows
you to ls, cat, cp and translate Linux text files to DOS text from DOS
(or DOS box in Win95).  Comes in real handy for getting at your Linux
configuration files when you are trying to get help or answer a Linux
question from your Win95 newsreader.

It will not write to Linux, but you can always cp files the other way
with the Win95 drive mounted as vfat in Linux.

If you can't find ext2tool.zip I could email it to you (281K).
