I have had a number of replies to my question about installing Paradox on
a PC-NFS network, most just asked me to tell them how I got on.  Others
asking what other software we are using.

It would seem that almost everytime I post to this group I get a flurry
of replies asking the same questions.  Many of the questions would be
better answered by a well written sales brochure or booklet.

For the most part PC-NFS is working well for us.  We have had a few
problems which the team at Sun East have been very helpfull with and we
have a few which they haven't but those are the breaks.

An idea that was posted recently which didn't generate much traffic was
that of a list of applications that are known to run correctly on a
PC-NFS network.  To which I added, it would be nice to know what work
arounds can be used to get some of the others to work.

I understand that Sun Microsystems have a book called 'CATALYST' which is
a directory of 3rd party products for the Sun Workstations.  Maybe ECD
can allocate part of a position to maintaining something similiar for
PC-NFS.  If it were accessible electronically I would be a willing
contributor.  I would also be a willing reader.  Perhaps the comments and
experience of users would be useful in shaping the future of the PC-NFS
product ?
