	i agree with richard tobin; a user level file server is the
right way to go, even if it is NFS. it is easier to write, easier to debug
and easier on the other users on your system. as an example of how
easy it can be, given the appropriate libraries, implementing
a 10th edition netb server requires about 350-400 lines of code
if the underlying base looks something like a unix filesystem.
once you understand what is going on and if you need the speed etc.,
then you should plug in the code into your variant of the [gv...]node
stuff.
