Distributed editors yes.  But mounting an NFS partition from
the cray and firing up a conventional  editor on the file will
result in its contents being copied across the wire in both
directions, which we were trying to avoid.  It is more convenient
for the user than using FTP (or a moral equivalent) twice, but
no less expensive for the super.
