Thanks to the incredibly fast responses.
Excuse me for the late summary. I had the last days off,
because of my wedding party.
Well, my original question was:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear DEC Unix Mgrs
First of all:
This list is real absolutly "mega" - fine !
We'd like to do following configuration:
On an AXP 3000/600 (DEC Unix V. 2.0 ) we have an ARC/INFO GIS
system running.
Now our goal is it, to populate several directories from this system
to an MS Windows NT Server running TCP/IP network communication.
This NT Server is our PC - File Server. The PC Clients are connected
over MS Windows for Workgroups.
We figured out the following solutions:
- Take NFS for Windows NT
Which product is the best ?
- Take Pathworks V for OSF/1
Does this work ?
Use somebody such a configuration ?
Now we heard about a freeware tool somewhere in the internet domain.
This tool seems to be an LAN Manager implementation, which alllows
you to connect filesystems in both directions.
AXP <----> NT
Does sombody know this pruduct ?
We would appreciate any hints shared on this subject and of course
we'll summarize to the list.
Many thanks.
Peter

The solution is to use the freeware package called 'samba'.
Available from:
nimbus.anu.edu.au: pub/tridge/samba/
This allows Unix systems to server NT and WFW
clients, using the SMB/Lan Manager protocol.
The main point is also, to avoid Pathworks. Its painful and costs you
a lot of money.
Thanks to everyone, who pointed me to the 'SAMBA' - solution:

We installed this software, and we were absolutely satisfied.
That's what we searched for.
After posting my question and the first answer it took only

There were some other hints:

You should look at Intergraph's DiskShare for a NFS-server solution. They
make standard Windows NT solutions, which are highly recommended.
If you want to use Pathworks version 5.0 you must upgrade DEC Unix to
version 3.x.
