To what extent is it possible to use the ams and atkams systems with a Unix file system. All the help documents that say anything about it seem to assume AFS is in place. What is the difference between (say) NFS and AFS? Paul.

If properly configured, there should be no problem. Here at Bellcore, we have 20 or so users with about 100 bulletin boards, and we're running NFS. All that you have to do is configure it properly, and the defaults from the X11 tape release assume NFS, not AFS, so you really should have no problem.
