#There are three commercial packages:
#
#1) PC/NFS from Sun

Sorry to be picky, but this comes up over and over again. The product
name is "PC-NFS", which is a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems,
Inc.

Within [at least] one standards group, the notation "(PC)NFS" is being
used to describe NFS implementations on PCs. I don't think that this
has any "official" status, however.
