While investigating about archiving software systems (like UniTree) together 
with file distribution systems (like NFS and AFS) I come across the
information that UniTree (1.7) will only create ftp and nfs server functions.

Since our plan was to have some standard archiving filestore and to export files
with AFS (resp. OSF/DCE DFS) I want to ask the more experienced people:

- Who is running already such an environment ?
- Who is using UniTree on a non-Cray and non-Convex machine (e.g. large
  server system(s)) ?
- Is UniTree really running as user-level code to make a "special" 
  filesystem accessable only through special NFS or FTP servers ? I thought
  that the filesystem switch would be the point where you could hook up
  "special" filesystem code, so I expected UniTree to be a special filesystem
  code running in kernel-mode....

Thanks in advance to the enlighted....
