Original Problem:
Hi there,
I am running DEC Unix 3.2c on a Alpha 2000 4/200. What I want to do
is this.
I want to create a 'PC Common' area on the system so that PC users
can dump
and upload data from a specific area.Most of our users run a Windows For
Workgroups or NT Workstation environment.
I have created a NFS file system and shared it, what sort of
software is out
there that I can use to attach from a PC to the UNIX system for the
purpose
of storing and retrieving information. I know that FTP & terminal
emulation
programs will allow data transferring, but I really want the area to
be able
to be shown as an extra network drive on a PC.
Is this possible at all? And if it is, how do I go about doing it?
Thank you
all in advance.
The overwheming majority of people have suggested SAMBA. This can be found at

Another suggestion was LAN Manager's Pathworks.
Thanks to everyone who replied. If anyone is interested in the final result
send an email directly to me.
