Just to end this and hopefully get on to something better.

All 3 of you are right. IFS is used in this context in the PC world for
NT, OS2 or something like that. NFS is used in the UNIX world for network
disks. AFS is the Andrew File System. As well, you have DFS, which is
the Distributed File System.

ObBug: /usr/openin/bin/xterm under SunOs 4.1.x will leave the tty mode
666 as stated here previously. After opening a call with Sun, they will
not fix it, because they have to rewrite most of their OS, despite the
fact that xterm released with X11R5 doesn't have this problem.

Ciao,
