NetFS 3.5
An Amiga-oriented remote filesystem and AREXX ports sharing.

Based on the original NetFS from Timo Rossi, 1992-1996.
Introduction
------------
NetFS is a network filesystem and AREXX ports sharing for MorphOS
computers or Amigas running a TCP/IP stack (such as AmiTCP, MiamiDx or
Roadshow).
This new revised version of NetFS greatly improves it by adding support
for most of the missing DOS packets (including 64 bit support on
MorphOS). It also introduces an asynchronous mechanism for the
connection management to avoid locks and annoying timeouts. Support for
IECLASS events and MagicBeacon notifications (MorphOS-only) was also
added, as well as some basic security management data encryption, and
much more...
Please note that NetFS is *NOT* SUN NFS compatible. It is to be used
between MorphOS computers and Amigas only.
Requirements:
-------------
. MorphOS, AmigaOS 3.x or AmigaOS 4.x (should also work on 2.04; not
tested).
. A working ethernet network.
. MUI 3.8 or better for the graphical tools (optional).
. In real life, anything less than a 68040 might be a bit too slow for
the crypted mode.
Note: There is no specific PowerPC binaries for AmigaOS 4.x, but the 68k
version of NetFS works nicely on this OS (with some minor
limitations).
What's new?
-----------
. Support for a new crypt mode with signed packets, automatic rekeying
and host certification.
. Additional option in netfs-handler and NetFSPort to fallback in old
crypt mode if needed.
. The netfs-server now only accepts old crypt mode when no crypt is
allowed.
. Persistent storage of volume names.
. Full multiuser support (if also supported by the remote filesystem).
. Improved packets compression feature to use less CPU.
. Various internal improvements and bug fixes.
