I am using Hummingbird's Maestro NT to do this. Right now I am storing my IDL
procedures and data on a Unix system and running NFS client on the PCs to
access them. However, I am about to switch to keeping the IDL procedures and
data on an NT server. PCs will access them with Microsoft network protocol. I
have installed Hummingbird's NFS Maestro Server on the NT server, so Unix users
will be able to access these files.

Cheers,

Mark Rivers
