wine and microsoft word file write errors ???

Hello all,

Wine is getting solid enough that it is appropriate for some real work, 
however it still is failing write with write errors from MS Word. 
Updates, reads, edits, fonts, etc all seem to be fine. However any write 
causes a disk full or permissions error. I am running as root root in 
this case and other programs under wine write w/o error.

If it is any clue the file name shows up as all caps in 8.3 format i.e. 
LONGFI~1.DOC as opposed to longfilename.doc. This is true for all the 
writes from MS Word. The partiction is FAT32 and is configured:

>[Drive C]
>"Path" = "/mnt/win98"
>"Type" = "hd"
>"Label" = "win98"
>"Filesystem" = "win95"
>
(BTW what is the relationship of "win95" and FAT32 ??)

Does anyone have any pointers or advice?

Thanks,
Dan Sawyer
