We had a Windows-NT demo machine here where I work a few months ago, and it had NFS. Not that I'll ever use NT, mind you -- I couldn't live without Unix -- but one shouldn't slam a system based on misinformation. Is the problem that the NFS implementation doesn't come from Microsoft? (I think we got it from Intergraph.) -- Doug DeJulio mailto:ddj+@pitt.edu http://www.pitt.edu/~ddj/
