Does anyone know the status of implementations of NFS on the Mac (who's working
on it, details of how it's coming)?  Will Sun be putting out a version them-
selves, similar to PC-NFS?  Thanks for the info...

Just smoke, no fire - but there must be a smoke making machine here
somewhere:

I have been trying to purchase TOPS-unix for a Sun. After taking with
the vendors involved I get the notion that Sun is doing some closed
door intense discussion to decide what to do with TOPS. I believe they
are hoping it will be the ticket to bring the Mac into the NFS world,
since functionally TOPS and NFS are similar. Probably they are making
some hard choices about what of each standard they can preserve in the
Mac environment. But this is all speculation...

What actually do I know? 

1) Centram is refering TOPS -unix customers back to their unix vendors.
2) Sun has not made TOPS available for SUN OS.
3) No one can say anything about Mac NFS.

I hope they will make an announcement soon. -j
