	Fine point here:  Matt chose a rather unfortunate name "dnet-nfs"
	in naming his filesystem.  dnet-nfs does not implement the Sun
	NFS (Networked FileSystem) protocol, nor is it compatible with
	Ameristars NFS server or client.  Further, NFS is a Sun trademark, at
	the very least in the context of remote filesystems.  I would ask 
	that Matt change the name of his package to avoid confusing the 
	marketplace about the nature of his programs.
