Hey gerry, you should ask the old CS guys.  We have all the answers.
(Actually I posted here and asked some months ago).

The problem is that the sequents version of NFS is too old and has bugs
in it.

Not that you wouldn't have guessed this anyway.

The fix?  Well first put up the latest release of DYNIX (hint hint)
and then find out if it's still there.  If it is then pester sequent
Europe at the unix show in London in a very loud voice.  (Mike Green
got a free lunch when he tried this tactic).
