Our NFS works by also droping it into the System Folder, but ours is a Chooser
device.  I am sure that we could have many philosophical discussions as to
why we did it this way and Wollongong did it the other way, our view being
that the Chooser is where things of this nature belong (alla, AppleShare).

Quick question for you Dave, how do you support LOCKD?  In the manual that
we have for your product it doesn't say that you do.  Just curious, and if
you do support LOCKD then you should state so in the manual.  In fact on
page 1-5 it says "Sun's LOCKD is not supported.", it states above that you
support this functinality through NFSAD.  I just wanted to know if the manual
is wrong here.

Also is NFSAD PD software, or something the Wollongong wrote?  Thanks!
