:What if I don't have a Sun server? Do the lock managers now distributed

:the PC-NFS disks the ONLY version that supports locking from PC-NFS?

All NFS licensees have the source code to the version of the
lock manager which supports DOS operations (and which, by the way, is
used by DOS windows on the Sun386i workstation as well as by PC-NFS).
Every licensee has their own release schedule for NFS, and obviously
it's outside Sun's control when these releases appear.

At Connectathon (the multi-vendor testing session) later this month
I will check on all of the implementations which are being tested to
see which ones support the version 3 lock manager.
