- Mount the Ultrix CD on an Ultrix system and export it via NFS.
- Use the MultiNet NFS Client to mount it on your VMS system using the
- /SEMANTICS=ULTRIX_OLD switch. This switch will cause our NFS Client
- to 'translate' the Ultrix format bookshelves into something that the
- VMS Bookreader will like (they have different filename
- specifications).
