I remember reading in this group that people were not successful in
getting PC-NFS to work with Windows 3.0. This was after I had already
ordered PC-NFS, and Windows 3 (in Enhanced mode) is a prerequisite
for any PC-NFS-type product for me.
Well, I finally got my copy of PC-NFS. I gingerly installed it,
started up Windows 3.0, and so far everything seems to work OK
given the memory PC-NFS takes up. (The one problem I haven't solved
yet is that Windows thinks that I have 22 disk drives, even though
I set up LASTDRIVE=H in config.sys. Ideas appreciated.)
I'm still a little leery. What problems have people had with this
combination? I'm not running QEMM or anything like that (yet.)
Is my disk going to be trashed soon? Should I count my blessings?
Thanks in advance.

There is a package on cica.cica.indiana.edu under the directory hierarchy ~ftp/pub/pc/win3 (don't remember directory) called win3-nfs.zip. This package contains a program which scans each of your DOS logical drives and marks ones which are actually used correctly and those which are not used as not available. This allows Windows 3.0 to work even when the drives mounted are sparsely allocated (as in C:, H:, S:, etc). I have not tested the package, only read the instructions. However, this program seems to address the major problems addressed on this news group. Hope this info helps. dave

Box 1 BELCONNEN ACT 2616 AUSTRALIA | For those lucky people who can get PCNFS, win3 and NCSA telnet working together, could u please list out in detail about the necessary steps to make them work together? For example, the config.sys, autoexec.bat, config.tel, packet driver configuration setting? We are using mainly western digital wd8003e and 3c503 ethernet cards.
