Any hope of running PC-Pine on PC-NFS?

We've got the developer's kit, but we decided to get the others working 
before we tackled yet another version.  If demand is great enough, we 
may include PC-NFS support in future releases.

What would a pc-nfs version actually provide that the DOS version doesn't?
Do you mean it will be a Windows-API application like PC-Eudora?

Hey,

If you're soliciting interest, we would *definitely* like to see PC-Pine
running over PC/NFS!

I guess I was a little vague (and slightly mis-informed) on my previous 
post.

The network protocol stacks supported in the current release are PC-TCP
from FTP Software, LAN WorkPlace from Novell, and WATTCP from U. 
Waterloo.  PC-NFS from Sun will be supported *very* soon.  Other than
running on the different vendor's stacks, the versions are identical. 

Windows support is a whole different subject that we have not thoroughly 
investigated yet.  Hopefully we will have a bit better handle on the 
effort required than we had on the DOS port before we jump in with both 
feet ;^)

It is coming very soon.  I had mis-interpreted the current status of the 
PC-NFS version when I sent that message.  So hang on, it's almost here!
