Tony,

NT stinks part VI

This is a good one. Last night I'm working from home, with a Win98 Explorer window open in a remote directory at work. I am running Unix simulations in that directory. After each simulation, I am downloading results to my home PC.

The odd thing is- no matter what I change in the simulation, I get the same results. This goes on for half an hour. Finally I get fed up, and look at the same files on a Unix box. Sure enough, the files are different on Unix and NT.

NT was caching stale versions of the file, and sending them to me long after they had passed on.

This is the kind of problem that can bring companies down.
