[comp.protocols.nfs] Application hunt for PC-NFS

sob@bcm.tmc.edu (Stan Barber) (03/17/90)

Is there something like the Sun CATALYST for PC-NFS?

If not, how's about we start one!

Specifically, I am looking for a calendaring/scheduling program for PC-NFS.
I read about such an animal in some computer rag about a year ago, but I
can't find it now that I need it.

HELP!
Thanks.
STAN

Setting up of an application catalogue would be a great idea.  It would
be even more helpful if it contained information about what can or needs
to be done to get an application to work properly when PC-NFS is the
file system and IP is underlying network.

e.g.

SAS/PC		PC-NFS is not officially supported as a network.
		problems with opening files on a network drive.
		- problem fixed after applying SAS Patch No.
		  p6030919.spc

SPSS/PC+	worked fine when it was installed following the
		directions for 3com.

Adv.Revelation	works OK, must be installed on a 'shared' file system.
		controls its own access consequently UMASK must be set
		to 000 before package is used.

WordPerfect5.1	works OK but software does not 'endspool' as it can with 
		other networks.

etc, etc.
