We have an SGI controlling the spectrometer, and an NT box running
XwinNMR as a data station. I still like the SGI implementation a little
better (Although the NT version isn't bad). The whole implementation on
the UNIX box just seems a bit neater, and UNIX (even IRIX :-) ) is still
a bit more reliable than NT. For some strange reason, the NT verion is also
restricted to 256 colours. Compared to the price of the spectrometer, the
price difference between SGI and and decent NT box isn't all that great.

I have the same problem. This is with Win NT 4, using a Wibu key
and a local drive (absolutely no Novell!) I have the same problem.
It tells me that I probably have no write permission on the drive while I
certainly
DO have write permission on the drive. Previously processed data
(from XwinNMR) will display O.K.
