Re: designing a brand new NFS.

["Arsalan Zaidi" <arsalan_zaidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yup I have the sources, though I'm not allowed to use them directly. Neither
am I allowed any outside coding help. I'm allowed to take suggestions and
stuff, but no real code. I don't even think I'm allowed to use anything
beyond the standard libraries !

Would really like to have you on board, but at this point, it's not
possible. Damned rules!
