[comp.sys.mac.programmer] NFS source code donation requested

I have just about finished writing a universal mounting package which, among
other things lets you mount UNIX devices and files (but not filesystems) on
the Mac desktop as a volume.

What I would like to add to the package is the ability to use the Mac as an
NFS server. I don't know of any software (commercial or otherwise) that
does this. I guess it's not something many people want to do. Does anyone
know of an existing package that does this? (NB server not client).

So probably I will have to write my own. I would like to know if anyone has
any existing NFS code for the Mac that I can start from.

In return I will donate my program free to the Mac community. I don't think
that this NFS feature will be of much interest to non A/UX users. Not many
people want to mount MacOS filesystems onto UNIX machines using NFS. But
A/UX users do.

Thanks,
Tony Cooper
