   I am having problems putting the Newcastle Connection (NC) distributed 
file system on a Pyramid 98X computer. Does anyone have any experience of
doing this that might be useful to me? Initially the Pyramid will be used
as an NC server only.

   The Pyramid does not function correctly as an NC server because it has 
a nonstandard directory format which the NC cannot seem to make any sense 
out of; even the manual page (man 3 directory) claims that the  directory
format is "non-obvious".  The problem can be seen by Newcastle Connecting 
to the Pyramid from another machine and typing ls.  Some files (about 1/2
of them) get missed out in an apparently random fashion.

   Any advice, tips etc. would be welcome (does anyone, anywhere have the
Newcastle Connection working on a Pyramid???).
