Sun made the specifications (though not their source code) freely available, and freely redistributable implementations exist (including one that will be part of 4.4BSD, if my memory is correct). An advantage to supporting NFS is that it is so common; almost every Unix box, together with PC's and Macs, can be made to speak it. Of course, FSF can also support alternate filesystems (AFS, or GNNFS, for GNNFS is Not NFS). -- Joe Buck jbuck@ohm.berkeley.edu "If we face a recession, we should not lay off employees; the company should sacrifice a profit. It's management's risk and management's responsibility. Employees are not guilty." -- Akio Morita, chairman of Sony
