- I got the NFS/Share info from Info-Mac (sumex-aim.stanford.edu):
- info-mac/report/unix-via-nfs.txt
- it contains some really disturbing information about both Wollongong
- and Intercon's product. Appearantly some of the info is false.

- I have hands-on experience with the first release (version 1.0)
- of the Wollongong product. For me the NetText editor is no solution.
- A later version of Wollongong's product is reported to do
- the translation in one direction (I don't know which one...).
- Maybe the very latest release does it in both directions.
