1. PC-NFS works well with DOS 5.0. The Dos shell sees the network drive.
   Just thought I mention this.
2. I am having a problem with Mac-NFS (See 3). Wollongong suggested that
   SUN add an option to the PCNFSD server to set the attributes of a
   file to be created.
3. I am trying to share files between a PC and a Mac. The PC uses Sun's
   PC-NFS, the MAC uses Wollongong's Pathway NFS. The NFS volume is
   using Wollongong's NFS for VMS. To copy a text file, I use ftp with
   no problems. For some reason, Wollongong has it set so any file with
   a VMS Executable protection is not seen as a text file and it will
   have no creator/type on the Mac. Removed the Executable option makes
   it ionto a text file. Going into VMS after every ftp is ridiculous.
   SET PROTECT/DEFAULT won't work. Wollongong said they may add this
   to their MACNFSAD daemon. This product has possibilities but
Wollongong seems to be selling a product that was not ready for market 
yet. A bug fix release in March is a good start
