Finally went and installed DNet V2.01 on my system disk and Unix account. The incentive was to play with dnet-nfs. Neat hack, Matt! Needs work, of course... it crashed the nfs-handler (I think) when I tried to "mv file dir"... and had errors creating directories. And, of course, everything is timestamped (in the Amiga's perception) to 1996 or so... But it's useful, nonetheless. Anyway, I also went to put mg back on my system disk, (dme is small & fast, but too awkward in ways... I *like* emacs.) and finally, I got mg2a to fit (removed TaskControl, switched from MachII to QMouse) and found that mg2a will not work with dnet-nfs... it will read directories just fine, but on any attempt to open a file (e.g. home:.cshrc) it would take a while, locking the chain of the path, and then open RAM:.../.cshrc instead, saying "new file". Grr. I tried it with mg1b, and everything works fine. I don't know what's causing it. Anyway, my question is: where can I find a copy of mg2b (or whatever the most recent version is), preferably one that will run resident? Deven -- shadow@[128.113.10.2] <shadow@pawl.rpi.edu> Deven T.

Matt mentioned in mail that Rename crashes the server. If you were moving the file to another directory on the same partition, the rename command would have been used, causing the crash. But as he said, it is extremely alpha right now. If I have the time, I may play around with the snfs.c file, to try to fix some of the current bugs. Matt will be back in two weeks, though, and he can do a better job than I could. john John Flanagan Space Sciences Laboratory johnf@sag4.ssl.berkeley.edu University of California, Berkeley (...!ucbvax!sag4.ssl!johnf) Berkeley, CA 94720 (415) 642-7635

Yes, I had forgotten the rename warning at the time. Same here.. given time, I may try to fix some of the bugs too... but my time is short. *sigh* Deven -- shadow@[128.113.10.2] <shadow@pawl.rpi.edu> Deven T.
