- Dave, you didn't read my post. I did not imply that what you did doesn't work,
- I am saying its not a solution for a networked environment. In a networked
- environment, you don't want to maintain mirror copies of your LW directories
- on both systems or continuously ftp files back and forth. Instead, a single
- networked partition should be shared amongst the systems from which you load
- your scenes, objects, and images. Keeping duplicate 3D directories is very
- wasteful and a nightmare to maintain. And since there is no available NFS
- server for the Amiga, this partition must reside on the PC/Alpha which prevents
- your trick from working. I would LOVE to be proven wrong but I don't think that
- is going to happen.
