I've seen references on the net to something called NFSExtend, which I believe  
is a shell script (?) that allows a NeXT without the Extended version of the  
software to get access to the Extended software from an NFS server that has it.   
My recollection is that it works by mounting the root of the server on the  
small-disk system and then defining links for all the missing software -- or  
something like that.  I also saw a reference to it in NeXT's documentation for  
the 3.0 beta test.

Can someone tell me whom (person? email address? other?) to contact at NeXT to  
get this thing?  Or anything about how to obtain it?  Thanks for any help.
