It's not a permissions issue here, either.  DOS utilities, such as StupenDOS,
work fine to overwrite the existing file.  And this is simpler than Samba to
Windows sharing.  (Coincidentally, one of the Windows directories is mounted by
smbmount for the ftp server, and NetMgr from the DOS machine stages/moves the
outbound into the right directories for me.)  Just something weird in how
AllFix does it's copy/overwrite checking.  However, if I run AllFix from a
mapped drive on a Windows machine (also running LANtastic, with the target
drive mapped as LANtastic), it overwrites without squabble.
