Well Pete I think you finally asked me a question I can answer.  I don't
mind telling you that you've pretty well shot what little ego I had
completely full of holes.

The command you need is mswrite  There is a man page, but basically

  mswrite -t367 local_fn /SIEMSEN/path_name


mswrite is not available on your workstation but is from niwot.
Several things to remember:

 1) the maximum files size on the MSS is 400,000,000 (not 400Mbytes)

 2) wild cards are not recognized (will be in the near future)

It's usually easier to tar up a complete directory and write that than
to mswrite each file individually.


Let me know if you have any problems with this, or if I can be of any
further help.
