	This is in response to several question about BWNFS.

1) BWNFS supports WordPerfect correctly and unlike PC-NFS and InterDrive,
   BWNFS spools the print jobs immediately after the job has been printed
   without user intervention.

2) BWNFS runs currectly under DOS 5.0 after running the command:
   "setver bwnfs.com 4.0". Geoff didn't comment on the claim that PC-NFS
   runs under DOS 5.0, but my guess (Geoff, please correct me if I am wrong)
   is that PC-NFS does run under DOS 5.0 as long as no multi-tasking is
   attempted.

3) BWNFSD is being placed on the "testsuite" tape for connectathon and I
   hope during connectathon we will have any issues resolved from the 
   NFS server vendors. After this I will post the resulting source with
   as many host operating systems IFDEFed.
