You have to dig > around to find it though. Depends on the routine of Windows. Chameleon offered a package at one point; AFAIK they still do. A search for 'Chameleon NFS' threw me at some Microfocus payware: http://www.microfocus.com/000/Interdrive_tcm21-19033.pdf A search for "Windows NFS freeware clients" coughed up this list: http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/free-nfs-client.html In a pinch, FTP or HTTP will also work; the main problem is that after using either one the user will now have two copies of the file (one on the server, one locally). Of course using NFS has its own issues as an application reads pages from the file. And of course one can use Samba, system administrators permitting. [.sigsnip] -- #191, ewill3@earthlink.net Linux.
