This has stumped my local "Platinum" helpdesk, so I'm posting here.  This 
is very simple to recreate if you have Win95 and Novell 4.x.  I'll bet 
many of you have used the >> to append to a file, a log file for example, 
to hold simple text items.  What could be the problem?

On a Novell 4.1 LAN using Win95 Client32 ...

From a drive mapped to the server, type

ECHO.|DATE|C:\FIND "C" >> LOG

and I get "File Creation Error"


Under Win3.11, this has never happened. Under Win95, it doesn't happen 
when logged to a local drive, only to a network drive.

I've checked the obvious like TEMP being set properly, etc. This is one 
line in a batch file that has run for years; it just date-stamps a log 
file. But it doesn't work under Win95.  Any clues?

Cheers!
Michael
