In article <300@nikhefk.UUCP> you write:

Check your manual. A current limitation of TOPS is that it can
only read the top directory in a mounted PC disk -- not
sub-directories. This may be fixed in release 2.0. We have
found it better to mount individual sub-directories anyway. It
is faster when starting up and changing drives in dialog windows.
You also only XSYNC (/U option in TOPS PUBLISH) the minimal
number of directories.

This IS fixed in release 2.0. At least according to TOPS'
publicity... we're still running 1.8.
