Quoth beame@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca (Carl Beame) (in <27913395.10545@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca>):
#
#	This is in response to several question about BWNFS.
#[...]
#2) BWNFS runs currectly under DOS 5.0 after running the command:
#   "setver bwnfs.com 4.0". Geoff didn't comment on the claim that PC-NFS
#   runs under DOS 5.0, but my guess (Geoff, please correct me if I am wrong)
#   is that PC-NFS does run under DOS 5.0 as long as no multi-tasking is
#   attempted.

If, hypothetically, we were a beta test site for a new Microsoft
product called, for example, DOS 5.0, I believe that I would be
prohibited by the beta test agreement from discussing this on the net.
(As would anyone else in our - hypothetical - position, I presume.)

#3) BWNFSD is being placed on the "testsuite" tape for connectathon and I
#   hope during connectathon we will have any issues resolved from the 
#   NFS server vendors. After this I will post the resulting source with
#   as many host operating systems IFDEFed.

Excellent! We'll look forward to that.
