Does anyone know what format this CD is in? Someone I know has been trying
to access his copy which he just got with no luck. I've not gotten a copy
yet, but I'd been hoping to stick it in one of my Linux machines and NFS
mount it on the VAX.

Umm - OS? Command? Error message? It's hard to
diagnose a problem
like this without this sort of information!
He was trying it on his Solaris Box I believe. No idea what errors he was
getting though, I gathered it just plain didn't see it.
NFS on Linux simply doesn't support the wide range
of filetypes available
under traditional minicomputer OS's like VMS and RSX, so even if you could
read access CD's files you'd still be screwed. NFS works fine for flat files,
but just try moving an indexed file using NFS sometime and watch all the
indexing disappear! The only way to preserve this information when passing
through brain-dead Unix-type filesystems is to do it through container
files.
Since you can now add support for the VMS filesystem to Linux, I was hoping
that it would be able to then share the files via NFS to a VMS machine. Of
course I have no idea how full-featured the VMS support under Linux is. I
know using netatalk, I'm able to use my Linux server as a Appletalk server
(with their resource forks Mac files are touchy).
