NeFS is not NFS.  It started out as an NFS protocol rev
(NFS version 3) but its protocol is a radical departure
from the NFS's remote procedure call model.  In order
to avoid confusion with NFS we're calling it NeFS for
now - Network Extensible File System (the similarity of
the name to a window system protocol is entirely intentional).

A draft spec for this new protocol is available via anonymous
FTP from titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30) as

	/public/nefs.doc.ps

The file is ~250K of PostScript.  It prints 52 pages.
The spec is not available in any other format.

Comments, suggestions, flames etc are welcomed.  Direct them
to "nfs3@sun.COM".

	Thanks
