I got the NFS/Share info from Info-Mac (sumex-aim.stanford.edu):
  info-mac/report/unix-via-nfs.txt
it contains some really disturbing information about both Wollongong
and Intercon's product.  Appearantly some of the info is false.

I have hands-on experience with the first release (version 1.0)
of the Wollongong product.  For me the NetText editor is no solution.
A later version of Wollongong's product is reported to do
the translation in one direction (I don't know which one...).
Maybe the very latest release does it in both directions.
