i'm enjoying NFS running under SCO UNIX 3.2.1.0 and it's just doing a great job. however, the limitation of at most 14 characters for filenames and the missing of symbolic links makes sharing files with BSD-based systems a pain. will these limitations ever be removed? Any information will be appreciated. Dave. ms@ifi.ethz.ch

Apropos long file names: The Mar/Apr issue of diSCOver (pg 32) listed two patches which would alter the kernel so that long pathnames would be truncated silently. However the address given seems to be wrong and the patch as printed does not work. Can anyone supply the correct address? Thank you
