Hi! Wilfred,

Nope.  Na'er the twain meets, except via IP.  OTOH, one VM has a drive
letter, a colon, and path(s) with slants thusly "\", while the
other has the same path(s) with "/" slants.  A simple
command-line argument will fix that, you say...  ;-)

While I have your attention: how much RAM would be recommended for
Fmail/linux?  (The intended working Puppy vBox has been humming for six
years with 256Mb, running binkD, CM II, GoldEd and JamNNTPd, and, rarely
ever uses half of it.)  Too early to say yet?  Then say so.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
