[Info-vax] how to mount a windows NFS share on a VAX

[Lucas Williams]

I ended up figureing it out. its nfsmount <server>
"share" [mountpoint].
However, I found out that even this command will not work if nfs
client isn't installed. I ran cnfnet cnfs and it said it couldn't find
it, so I ran cnfnet mneu and sure enough, nfs client and nfs server
are not installed. I looked at the logs when this was install (Back in
97) and they did just a bare minimal tcpware install. The fun part is
going to be looking for the install media that probably doesn't exist
anymore since it is almost 15 years since it has been touched.

I ended up finding the command by going to help/tcpware/nfsmount/
mount_command

Thanks for everyone's help.
