MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- April 7, 1986 -- Extending its commitment to
  distributed computing and network services, Sun Microsystems announced
  today extensions to its personal computer (PC) networking product line.
  The extensions include a new PC-NFS(TM) Programmer's Toolkit for developing
  networked applications and enhancements to its PC-NFS product for net-
  working personal computers to dissimilar computer systems on a Network
  File System (NFS(TM)) network.

PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit
  The PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit provides a standard programmatic interface
  to network services which isolates the application developer from vendor-
  specific network hardware and cabling changes. Among the services it provides
  are 4.2BSD-compatible TCP/UDP sockets, RPC and XDR (eXternal Data
  Representation) standards and Yellow Pages. The toolkit libraries run on
  IBM PCs, PC/XTs, PC/ATs(TM), Compaq computers, and other PC-compatible
  systems using DOS 3.0 or higher and PC-NFS 2.0. The first release of the
  toolkit is designed to work with the Microsoft C Compiler Version 4.0 in all
  memory models.  U.S. list price for the PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit is $595
  per system.  A site license (unlimited use in one building is $2,395.

 PC-NFS Release 2.0.
  Sun also announced enhancements to its PC-NFS product.  PC-NFS is a software
  product for IBM PCs and compatibles that allows them to transparently access
  files and network peripherals on NFS on an Ethernet network.  The enhance-
  ments include DOS 3.1-compatible file sharing and record locking utilizing
  Sun's network services, additional network services for file transfer (ftp),
  remote shell (rsh), and remote copy (rcp), and support for Ungerman-Bass NIC
  and Micom-Interlan 5010 network boards, in addition to the current support
  for the 3Com 3C501 board.  The enhanced release, PC-NFS 2.0, is available in
  April, 1987 at a U.S. list price (software only) of $395.  Both products are
  available 48 hours ARO via Sun telemarketing.
