What we showed was preliminary: a mount application, requiring the use of DAs to access remote files. We're further along here in the lab, but aren't ready to demonstrate the latest work. MacNFS is built on CITI's rewrite of the CMU MacIP (in MPW C). While the version we showed in DC rests on application IP, IP is driver based at CITI. The NFS layer is built from code, not from spec, so it will never be public domain. There is hope that CITI will have more flexibility in publishing the TCP/UDP/IP driver code. MacNFS is one of several Macintosh development projects at CITI; these activities are partially supported by Apple Computer. Peter Honeyman CITI
