7.1.1 NFS V3
NFS V3 supports 64-bit files and write caching.
The first implementation was from Digital with DEC OSF/1 V3.0 for
Alpha AXP. Silicon Graphics supports it on IRIX 5.3. Cray will support
it on UNICOS 9. I don't know about other vendors but I have heard
rumours that the releases coming in the second half of 1995 will
support it.

Solaris 2.5, available Nov. 95, is reported to have V3 support.
Network Appliances have it as of 3.0, Sept. 95. (guy@netapp.com (Guy
