Among other responsibilities, our department maintains a few publicly used 
computing rooms around campus. We are exploring the possibility of using
PC-NFS in the room which houses all DOS-compatible systems and using our SUN
as a file/print server.

We would like the user to select applications via a menu program which would
run on the server. Currently, users select applications off the (local) hard
disk via a home-grown menu program.

Does anyone know of such a menu program to select different applications off
the server using PC-NFS which would require very little RAM? Anyone else 
care to relate their experiences with PC-NFS in a "publicly" used setting?

Thanks in advance.
