It allows creation of virtual DOS volumes on Unix systems, but 1) it doesn't allow read/write sharing of those volumes, and 2) it requires Unix source code and kernel modifications to install. I've never used it on a PC, but I've used Unices sharing disks via the same protocol, and there were some unloveable aspects about spinup-spindown... I don't know how you get the source for the Unix side. I'd start with the contact for PC-IP at MIT (the Microcomputer Office), and see if they can help/redirect you. jbvb
