Time for a repost, I guess:

Hello everyone, if you may recall, I first posted about the NFS server
for the PC in August of '88.  We have been trying to get it released
all this time, and finally some good news:

Sun Microsystems has (through the good office of Geoff Arnold of the
PC-NFS group) given us permission to put the NFS server we developed
into the public domain.
 
The old version works with the Excelan package;  the current one works
on top of PC-NFS.  It should be easily portable to run on top of other
TCP/IP implementations.  Both Suns and PC's may mount filesystems on
this PC server (+ any other that runs NFS, of course).

It will be available via anonymous ftp from this host (lbl-csam.arpa) in
the /pub directory as "sos.tar.Z".  It includes nearly 10k lines of
source (server and RPC/XDR code) and makefiles, with documentation and
an executable.  We are going to put some copyright notices in the code,
gain the blessings of the Laboratory legal people, and put it out late
Monday afternoon (3/6).

Unfortunately, it is much too large to send over mail.

I realize that some people cannot ftp, and therefore would appreciate any
help anyone can give in distributing it.  If you wish to put the server
up for distribution on your host, please feel free to do so.

I also know that the code can be improved in many ways - if you make
an improvement, I'd sure like to hear about it, and probably so would
any other people using it.  Enjoy!

Sharon: great .signature, do you have a reference for a good
published version of the Sumer mythology? Preferably a reasonably-
priced paperback, if that isn't an oxymoron....
