RFS was long out by the time I started using *nix. I do have media
for it for the 3B2s in my computer collection though.
What were the market forces or limitations that led to NFS prevailing?

Interesting! I never knew that he was involved with it. I don't think
his name was on any of the USENIX papers.
He and I grew up on the same street, and both sets of parents still
live there. He later (with Perry Flinn) went on to found Secureware
and they did quite well for themselves in the 90s.

It was in System V Release 3, thus the confusion. Sun integrated it
into SunOS 4.0 (IIRC) and then pulled it out around 4.1.something. It
was for sure gone from 4.1.3 and 4.1.4.
Where does RFS (AT&T System III) fit in all
of this?
Well it was not in PWB 3.0 - aka System III. Just
looking for history on RFS if any.
David Arnovitz's work -- Dave worked for us at Masscomp in Atlanta
afterwards. RFS was based on ideas Peter had used in Eighth
Edition file system. When
we did EFS @ Masscomp, Perry Flinn and I were both aware of Peter's work ...
I briefly overlapped Perry at Georgia Tech. He was one of the three
major developers of the Georgia Tech Software Tools Subsystem for Pr1me
Computers that I later was involved with. A very bright guy; no idea
where he is now.
