Sweet!   I'll have a closer look.  Windows a mix of 2K, XP, NT4 and even 
one W98 machine so the  earlier version may be a go-er.   Could be the 
answer to all my wishes and seems to suggest it is not fussed about how the 
drives are exposed (WebDAV, SFTP, etc) so should not be fussed about the 
Linux box not being part of an AD or workgroup.   I had also thought to use 
WebDAV but was put off by the apparent need (still, sigh) to use IE5+ as 
the client.   I think it (WebDAV) was supposed to be incorporated into OO.o 
wasn't it, at some stage?   I did a Google and search on the OO.o site but 
drew blank looks.

Thanks for the tip-off for South River!

"Gasp" indeed :-)
