It works in much the same ways as the SUN/PC NFS. This link called PC-Interface allows you to mount up to 1.3 Gbytes of disk storage to use as a very LARGE PC-fileserver. Text files are converted for the different operating systems to use and a VT100 emulator is also included. PC-Interface looks just lik a large PC formatted drive. It actually takes the next available hard disk (D:,E:,...,Z:) and actually uses that logical drive to interface to the Unix system. On the PC/MS-DOS machine it looks like PC/MS-DOS not UNIX. -- Regards, Mark /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ << DISCLAIMER >> "...Hep me!...Hep me!...I've been HYPnotized!!!..."
