Hummingbird is a company, not a program. I didn't think Windows could do NFS, or anything other than samba natively (M$ Windows : Batteries Not Included :-)). Anyways, My dad has a Solaris box and an NT box at work and said that they use one of Hummingbird's products (I forget which one, but it isn't eXceed ;-)) to provide NFS access from Windows. -D
