That would not be a very wise thing to do. The Apollo file system is typed :) which you cannot say for the NFS-filesystem. Making executables on an NFS-system is possible but they do not ave the type 'coff'. And there are a lot of tools which are dependant on the filetype info. (Note that I have executed files which i got with bin-ftp, and that doesn't give you coff files either) Willem Jan Withagen. -- Eindhoven University of Technology DomainName: wjw@eb.ele.tue.nl Digital Systems Group, Room EH 10.10 P.O. 513 Tel: +31-40-473401 5600 MB Eindhoven The Netherlands
