[Oberon] NO alpha 5.1.2003 - Filesystem - bugs or features ?

[Treutwein Bernhard]

a little bit of feedback for NO alpha 5.1.2003 and its
mountable filesystems:

1. On a mounted VFAT filesystem editing a file with
   FileSystem.Mount BOOT FatFS IDE0#06 ~
   ET.OpenAscii BOOT:BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst
   and storing its contents with ET.StoreAscii from the
   menu bar leaves some ugly backup entries in directory 
   BOOT/GRUB:

	 Volume in drive C is DOS        
	 Volume Serial Number is 313A-16E3
	 Directory of C:\BOOT\GRUB

	BOOT_G~1 BAK           157  29.01.04  14:04 BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst.Bak
	BOOT_G~1 BAK           595  03.02.04  11:03 BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst.Bak
	BOOT_G~1 BAK           623  03.02.04  11:05 BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst.Bak
	         3 file(s)          1.375 bytes
	         0 dir(s)       7.888.896 bytes free

	 Volume in drive C is DOS        
	 Volume Serial Number is 313A-16E3
	 Directory of C:\BOOT\GRUB

	MENU     LST           684  03.02.04  11:17 menu.lst
	         1 file(s)            684 bytes
	         0 dir(s)       7.888.896 bytes free


2. Apparently OFSISO9660Volumes does not handle multisession CDs
correctly:

There are two sessions on the disk (I'm happy to send sceenshots
of the output of ISObuster :-), see www.isobuster.com or 
http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/ but I do not know how to 
redirect isbuster's directory listing to a file).

The sessions are created on 23.Jan.2004 and 29.Jan.2004
I don't have any clue, why NO gets a a date of 7.Jan.2004
