Has Anyone succeeded in running Windows3 from a pc-nfs networked drive...
Windows 2xx worked fine but 3 seems to come up with an empty program manager,
and any attempt to run an application comes back with an error 'Too many files
open'.
Any Ideas...

To change this you need to add a /f20 (for 20 files) switch on the PCNFS.SYS load in the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=c:\nfs\PCNFS.SYS /f20 Windows 3 also supports a swapper disk, so this needs to be configured to use a local HD, perhaps.
