Right...
Thanks for all the thoughts about symlinks etc. but after reading them
through many times I still have no idea about any of it.
So for the time being, or until RPCEmu is network fixed I'm putting it all
back in hiding and returning from whence I came.
Thanks
Dave

Unfortunately I find absolutely no fun at all using RISC OS 5.2nn.
PITA more like, every time I think I must try it. :-/

I am using it in preference to V-RPC for day-to-day use, as its MouseSync
actually works (I am always in windowed mode, switching back-and-forth
between RISC OS and Windows), and it supports all RISC OS versions
without jumping through hoops (especially RO5 of course).
Have fun

Because RPCEmu has no mechanism from within it to set up and display a
Mount.
Perhaps this might be of interest:
It's not ready for public release yet, and it really needs some people to test it before it gets submitted to the mailing list.

Put a symlink in the root of HostFS to point to F:? That's broadly speaking
what I would do on Linux, but as I said below, if your host OS doesn't do
symlinks, then you might be stuck.

My HostFS is at /home/steve/RPCEmu/RO5/hostfs
Within it, on the Linux side, there are some symlinks:
/home/steve/RPCEmu/RO5/hostfs/Development -> /home/steve/Development
/home/steve/RPCEmu/RO5/hostfs/Filestore -> /remote/filestore
The former is a folder in the root of my Linux home directory where all of
the RISC OS software development goes on; the latter is an NFS mount that
lets me see the generic file storage on the NAS.
Thus, on the RISC OS side, I can access
HostFS::HostFS.$.Development
HostFS::HostFS.$.Filestore
as if they were real directories (because as far as HostFS knows, they are
just that).
I'm fairly sure this arrangement was based on suggestions on this list
several years ago.

I can connect to other machines on the LAN fine, but then I'm using NFS for
that. I don't generally do RISC OS-RISC OS transfers, as I store data on the
NFS NAS for easy backup. Very little is stored locally on any machine.

I can connect to other machines on the LAN fine, but then I'm using NFS for
that. I don't generally do RISC OS-RISC OS transfers, as I store data on the

[Snip]
I don't think I understand what you've written?
If I'm working in RPCEmu and I want to get files from another machine on
the LAN and then when edited return them to the original machine how?
Do you mean, I minimise RPCEmu, open the relevant RPCEmu hostfs dir in
Windows?
Open the other external relevant dir, either on the same Host machine, or
over the LAN and Drag or Copy/Paste between them?
