OK, Got it running. Had some initial problems since I didn't
shutdown the "UCX" parts fully... :-)

Things do work better from UE now "out of the box".

There are some minor things like when clicking the
small "+" in from of a directory filename, I get this
in the UE log :

2011-02-20 15:54:37: CWD TRADSCHED.DIR
2011-02-20 15:54:37: 550-Directory [.TRADSCHED.DIR] not found,
                      Requested action not taken.

Maybe there is some option to hide the ".DIR" part of a filename
in the file listing sent back to the client...

When opening a file from the UE "File View", doing some changes
and pressing ctrl-S (or "Save" from the menus) it creates a
new version of the file, as wanted.

UE only showed the highest version, but that could easily be changed
by adding a "list filter" as "*.*;*" to the server config in UE. The
default list filter was "*.*".
