Hello, We have been using PC-NFS 3.0 for a year or more now. Recently I've started seeing mention of PC-NFS 3.1 (at least, the mention may not be recent, but my noticing it is). Since all our PC-NFS copies are registered with Sun, I'm wondering if we can hope to see upgrade offers in the near future? Alastair Milne Educational Technology Center Dept. of Info. and Comp.

It SHOULD have been called 3.1, but that's another story.... I recently posted an announcement which included info on upgrades*. Note that only customers on support contracts get automatic upgrades; others should order an upgrade kit from Sun's CSD or buy a new copy of 3.0.1 and use it to upgrade existing PCs. I note without comment (?) the fact that recent postings have suggested that it is much quicker to get a new copy of PC-NFS than to drag an upgrade kit out of CSD....
