In attemting to configure FTP's PC/TCP product, I came across the following linein the configuration file. [pctcp idrive] vax = foo.net.com /users/guest/foo i: user fred From this it looks like I should be able to remotely mount a file structure and call it my "I:" drive on my PC. I've been unable to find this documented any- where in the 2.05 literature. -- Mark A.

Since more of our customers buy PC/TCP with InterDrive (as PC/TCP Plus) than buy it alone, the PC/TCP manual includes InterDrive information where its exclusion might be confusing to PC/TCP Plus users. Here, it seems to have worked the other way around!
