This is an announcement of an implementation of SUN NFS for Tops-20. It is called NFS-20, of course, and the name refers to the whole collection of programs and libraries. The first release, NFS-20 1.0, is a server only. It is a BETA TEST version and it works fairly well. Expect an updated release in a few months. Included with the NFS server are a UDP library, XDR conversion routines, RPC client and server routines, an RPC port mapper, an NFS mount server, an RPCInfo program, and debugging tools. If you want to use a SUN as a client, it will need release 3.0 or better. It has not yet been tested with anything but a SUN client. To get it all, just retrieve everything on SRI-NIC.ARPA in directory PS:<MKL.NFS>. Yes, it's all written in MIDAS. For more info and details read the file NFS.DOC. Also send me a note so I can add you to a bug report/announcement mailing list. I'm interested in comments, suggestions, and bug reports. Nice comments are especially welcome. Mark -------
