[a little plug about mtools here]

Another possible solution is to convince your sysadmin to upgrade to SunOS
4.1.1.  There are a few new goodies in this release such as [drum roll
please] a pcfs.  [i.e. MS-DOS based filesystem]  I haven't had much time
to play with it.  (Upgrading 30+ machines to 4.1.1 does that to you!)  But
I was able to format a pc disk and mount it as a file system.  Really
cool.  Try it, you'll like it!
