One suggestion is if you install SHARE and SHARE*NET on the Unix
server, you get an ODBC driver which you can install on the Win95 PC .
I am sure you can go from Unix to all ODBC compliant windows PC
formats ie Access Excel this way, and I think you can go in the other
direction, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's worth checking out.
