I would assume that there are licensing fees to be paid ... To my knowledge Sun doesn't support TFS anymore. Werner Almesberger <almesber@nessie.cs.id.ethz.ch> has written a FS he calls Inheriting File System for Linux which is supposed to do what TFS does. The version I saw was something like pre-alpha but I gues it could serve as a starting point. I can't find the ftp address where I got it from anymore, sorry. -Toni -- _____________________________________________________________________________ _Anton Hartl___________________________Anton.Hartl@informatik.tu-muenchen.de_
