Ok, will give it a go.

I have some diffs for emulated ethernet that I will send you when
I have tested them a bit more.

One of the files for NFS was truncated but we had everything else.

The CADR emulator doesn't do version numbers when it is talking to a
Chaosnet fileserver, backups just get renamed with a tilde on the end,
I just define SYS to point at a tree that has been checked out of SVN
anyway.

The charset translation could be done on the lispm side.

I guess an alternative would be to run multiple copies of the
emulator as fileservers for each of the LMI trees.
