Re[2]: [OpenAFS] drive mappings with the windows xp client

[Ron Croonenberg]

Hi Jeffrey,

this is what I did.

C:\>net use q: \\AFS\afs-2.csc.depauw.edu\home\cowboy
The command completed successfully.

after this I can use that Q drive like expected.  it is in AFS space etc etc.
files can be opened/created/modified with explorer etc.

thanks,

Ron
