  10. Got a number of good, though varying, replies (kudos to responers
  11. follows).  Here's what I'm now using, which seems to work:
  12. ---------------------------------------------
  13. main() {
  14.     chdir("/usr/etc");
  15.     execl("/usr/etc/mount","mount","-rt","nfs","helios:/cdrom",
  16.     "/cdrom", (char *) 0);
  17. }
  18. ---------------------------------------------
  19. If anyone needs the texts of the original respoders, send me e-mail.
