I sent this in as a bug_report early on (I think I sent on a lot of
bug_reports for the Ethertalk and NetWare clients), and nothing ever
came back from NeXT.  I think Redwood City thinks this one is a
feature.

I don't think that the NetWare and Ethertalk clients have extremely
high priority at NeXT.  I think they were almost thrown in just to
ensnare future big accounts.

Sure, they work pretty well, but they don't work nearly as well as you
would expect something from NeXT to work (and they eat CPU BIGTIME!).
