I use SCO NFS at my site. It was apparently released only a short time ago and is still version 1.0. As I understand it, NFS is only supported for SCO Unix 3.2 and later; they do not support it under Xenix. In any event, SCO is phasing out Xenix; I don't think they sell it any more. All Xenix applications are supported by the Unix package they now sell; they spent a fair amount of time and money merging their Xenix and System V products to come up with the combined, compatible product. My suggestion is therefore to upgrade to Unix 3.2.2 and get NFS. Ask your SCO distributor if there's a deal he can give you on the upgrade; I have no idea what their policy is. Though I do know the company would love to stop supporting Xenix ASAP. -rich

I think you will find that AT&T worked with SCO to merge the 2 products, not just SCO. >My suggestion is therefore to upgrade to Unix 3.2.2 and get NFS.
