Windows for Workgroups with XFS

If you have Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and are using the Microsoft TCP/IP stack, there is a shareware 32-bit NFS package called XFS available on the UK Imperial College archive. The directory is:

ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/systems/ibmpc/windows3/winsock/

There are two ZIP files beginning with the letters "xfs". One appears to be a NFS client for MS-DOS running on top of packet drivers. The other "xfs32" is the WfWG/MS-TCP32 version. The shareware price per client is 15 dollars academic or 25 dollars commercial. Bulk discounts are available. Help is in the form of a Windows help file.

This information was provided (May 1995) by Jose Marques (jose@OLIS.LIB.OX.AC.UK).

If you wish to have the PC menu system modified to accommodate XFS, please try mounting and dismounting a few CD's under XFS, and advise Deane Merrill (dwmerrill@lbl.gov) of the exact syntax required.
