I don't have a PS/2 running AIX, I have an RT running AIX 2.2.1. I don't seem to have AIX on it, or at least it doesn't work the way I expect NFS to work. In any case, for those of you who have AIX on an RT, I'm interested in getting NFS for my machine. What do I have to do to get this? Is it an upgrade, or is it an extra piece of software that I need to install, etc! Thanks, as usual, for all/any help. - Mark P.S.

You will need to update your operating system to the latest level, (call IBM defect support at 1-800-237-5511 to get the latest and greatest). The reason you need to update is because NFS was upgraded to provide file locking, and some opsys changes had to be made to account for this. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |The views expressed herein, are the sole responsibility of the typist at hand| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |UUCP: cs.utexas.edu!ibmchs!auschs!sabre.austin.ibm.com!robin | |USNail: 701 Canyon Bend Dr. | | Pflugerville, TX 78660 | | Home: (512)251-6889 Work: (512)823-4526 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

NFS is a separate product, which you'll need to order separately from your IBM representative.
