I have found that most of the popular editors (vi, pico, nano, vim,
insert yours here) have been ported to Win32. They may be a couple
versions behind but if you're not running Gentoo, then you're obviously
not for the whole up-to-date version thing (Just my plug for Gentoo
:-D).

I did some more experiments this morning and still don't have an answer.=20
I still don't think refresh or filesystem caching has anything to do=20
with it. Below is a sequence that I tried to make sure any needed=20
refresh works. (BTW, gcc is not involved here. I am using GNU Make on=20
Win2k to excute commands on a compiler from Green Hills that runs on Win2k.=
)

0. Note the date/time of target file in Win2k Command Prompt dir and=20
Explorer.
1. smbmount the Win2k share to a mount point on the Linux box.
2. Open the file in Linux from the share via the mount point.
3. Edit on the Linux box.
4. Save the file to the Win2k share via the Linux mount point.
5. Check the file date/time in Win2k Command Prompt dir and Explorer.=20
Unchanged.
6. Close the editor in Linux.
7. Check the file date/time in Win2k Command Prompt dir and Explorer.=20
Unchanged.
8. unmount the share from the Linux box.
9. Check the file date/time in Win2k Command Prompt dir and Explorer.=20
Unchanged.
10. Open file with Notepad on Win2k. See changes that were made in the=20
Linux editor.
11. Close Notepad.
12. Check the file date/time in Win2k Command Prompt dir and Explorer.=20
Unchanged.
13. Logout of Win2k. Login to Win2k.
14. Check the file date/time in Win2k Command Prompt dir and Explorer.=20
Unchanged.

The share is completely disconnected from the Linux box where the=20
contents of the file were changed and saved. The new changes are=20
completely visible via editor on the Win2k box. Yet the date/time of=20
the file is the same as when the sequence started. I would think the=20
connection and filesystem refresh would have been triggered at step 4=20
when the data was correctly saved or steps 6, 8, 11 or 13. Do you see=20
somewhere else that I am missing an understanding about a refresh or=20
caching?

Therefore, I don't believe it to be a filesystem refresh issue. It must=20
be permissions or SMB connection settings that don't allow for file=20
date/time changes via SMB. I don't know if the supposed settings I am=20
looking for are on the samba side in the Linux box or on the Win2k side.

Thanks for the good luck wish. Looks like I'll need it. At this point,=20
I may go hunting for a decent editor to use on Win2k so gmake can=20
correctly run the build based on correct date/time stamps.
