Hi! Wilfred,

On Tue, 25 Jul 17, you wrote to me:

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.
