- NetManage have demonstrated some ports of their Chameleon package to
- Windows NT - this will include an ftp server. Various other companies
- are also working on servers, ftp, nfs and more. I also expect that
- many of these will exist as shareware/freeware - if anyone knows of
- the location of such a port, please inform pd-tools@microsoft.com

- As above (if you mean using ftp or nfs at the Unix machine). If you're
- using SCO Unix or another operating system with an SMB/Lan Manager client,
- then of course you can achieve this today

- Thank God not all the work's done - where would the market opportunity be
- then?! And I'd be out of a job (and you too, perhaps). Seriously, we
- released the Win32 SDK as soon as we can so that these tools and other
- pieces can get developped asap -- Alistair
