PC-NFS may have its problems but it has successfully filled a need.

After recent discussions with the people from Sun ECD about PC-NFS,
(Interop 1990) it was clear that although there has been no apparent
improvements with the product in the recent past, Sun have not
forgotten about it.  There have been efforts to improve the product
and Sun appear to have a real commitment to it.

As a fairly large user of PC-NFS (400+), I am hopeful that Sun will
make some kind of announcement to give us an idea of:

-  what improvements they have been working on.
-  what bugs have been fixed.
-  etc.

As has already been mentioned, the competition ( B&W, FTP, TWG etc )
have not been sitting back idly watching the world go by.  Features
and facilities offered by these other products are making them more
attractive each day.
