In this example, the Econet software (the network filing
system or NFS) is version 3.34; the machine operating
system is version 1.20.
NFS versions 3.40 and later have the following
differences from earlier versions:
■ they allow you to prevent your password appearing on
the screen, using the procedure described in the Getting
going section
■ catalogues are displayed in two or more columns
■ there are no privileged stations
■ there are slight changes in the OSARGS operating system
routine.
