Corporate hype serves its purpose inside your company. : Care to back up your statement with some hard facts? : At any rate, I doubt that you will post back. I am not easily discouraged, as those people who actually follow comp.unix.UNIXWARE will know.-) My original statement, after I noticed that this was being crossposted, was an enquiry as to why it is crossposted. If you do crosspost to a commercial Unix release's newsgroup, I am afraid you'll simply have to put up with people who are, by popular demand, supporting their product in this fashion, and who may be convinced that their product is the best thing since sliced bread:-) (BTW, know what smileys are?) Also, the one place where corporate hype does NOT serve its purpose is inside a company. That's where one is critically evaluating one's efforts all the time in order to improve the product. UnixWare NFS comes from a company which is not exactly new to networking. -- Martin Sohnius Novell Labs Europe Bracknell, England +44-344-724031 (My opinions may not be those of Novell!)
