_____________________ Decision Point _____________________
Your file system choice depends on your environment and the user needs
on the NFS client host. Consider using an OpenVMS file system if:
Your users share most files between your OpenVMS system and
another OpenVMS host, or between your OpenVMS system and a
UNIX client.
Your client users need to maintain multiple versions of files.
You share files between users on OpenVMS and users on NFS clients.
File sharing between your OpenVMS system and a UNIX client is
minimal.
Client applications use symbolic or hard links or special files.
