Hello Xenix folks.

A local customer, here in Montreal, has a network of PC's, some of them
running XENIX, most running DOS.

They're using PC-NFS to communication between the DOS machines and the
XENIX server. PC-NFS comes with a program called rpc.pcnfsd that has to
be compiled and installed on the UNIX host. This program will, among
other goodies, enable the DOS users to remotely print onto the server's
printers.

The rpc.pcnfsd program is supplied in source format and compiles nicely
on a Sun Workstation or on a 'pure' BSD host. The task of making it run
on different architectures is sort of left to the user.

My customer needs help in porting the rpc.pcnfsd to the XENIX
environment.

XENIX being one of the best selling UNIX environment and PC-NFS being
one of the best selling communication program, I'm sure someone,
somewhere, has already ported the pcnfsd program to XENIX.

Would anyone have any tips? 

You can reply to me by email. I will also monitor this newsgroup for a
while.

Many, many thanks for your help.
