Hello!

[1] NCS (Network Computing System)

Does anyone know the current status of NCS implementation on 
several kinds of machines?
I've heard that third parties have decided to do on Sun, Vax, 
Cray, etc., but I don't know the current status.
From when will they be available?

[2] NCS vs NFS+rpc

What is the difference of NCS and the combination of NFS (Network 
File System) with rpc (remote procedure call)?
Which is more powerful and easy to builtin to application programs?

Thanks in advance...
Toshikazu Kato

PS.
I've read this news group (comp.sys.apollo) after a long interval, 
and found it is becoming active.
In Japan, we have an apollo users group mailing list (independent 
from Apollo Corp. and from ADUS).
It's address is:
	apollo.users%etl.jp@relay.cs.net
