The smbclient program from the Samba package does exactly that (i.e.
connect to shared PC drive and then access files for read or write
as needed). Open source code is available as part of Samba/iX, so you
might be able to extract or customize the C sources for your specific
needs.

Another option would be to have the file on the 3000 side and make
the PC program access it through a Samba/iX share. This way you might
get away without programming. However, you surely would have to find
a way to "sync" the MPE and PC accessors (i.e. how does the PC program
know when to read new data that has been written by the MPE program?).

Lars.
