When I access it via EFS, three things seem amiss:
(1) The file .DOH does not appear in the dired buffer.
(2) The point starts at the file ABERRATION.PS, rather than the first file
in the buffer (.JOVERC).
(3) If I try to do anything to .JOVERC, .PLAN, or .TEST, I get the "no file
on this line" message.
New question, while I'm here: the version of EFS we're running ("1.6/1.11"
according to efs-version) does not appear to support either of the popular
FTP servers available for the Macintosh (the one provided with NCSA Telnet,
or the shareware (?) FTPd). Any plans to support these in future versions?
