Hi Nick,

There aren't many alternatives and the chances are that you find them 
any easier/flexible. The ones I know about are AFS and NFS. Does that 
sound like anything Sudhashen mentioned?

Now let me wander off-topic...

My real motivation for this reply, though, is to ask you to please stop 
hijacking threads. This happens when you reply on an existing thread and 
change the topic in stead of composing a new message. E-mail clients 
that handle threads know that, even though you changed the subject, the 
new mail is still part of the thread you replied to. Hijacking existing 
threads make it extremely difficult to find and organise the 
conversational threads. Please stop doing it.

kbye,
