Executables can be run over dnet-nfs, but please remember that this is a low-speed serial connection. PC-NFS is ethernet (or is on all the machines around here), even with it's frustrations & limitations, it is tremendously faster. It's main convenience is for copying files, moving around in unix directories mounted on the Amiga and as an Amiga printer server. ==================================================================== Kent Polk - Southwest Research Institute - kent@swrinde.nde.swri.edu Motto : "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing" ====================================================================
