Too many responses to thank folks by name, besides, they know who they
were...
Several folks suggested Veritas. Unfortunately, it's out of our price
range.
Several folks suggested Jorg's FBK which, while on the surface looks
like a good idea, I can't make it work.
Several folks asked why I wanted it (too long to explain, but the
question prompted me to think about other solutions).
One folk suggested NFS mounting a multinet volume on VMS (if VMS was an
option, I'd dump unix in half a heartbeat, but it's not)
Thanks again for the ideas, especially those who asked "Why?".
