Just to give you some help on how to narrow your search, Samba is
actually what you are wanting to use to share Linux drives to Win95/NT
machines. I don't think that there is a free version of NFS for Windows
(could be wrong). With Samba you can set up your linux box to act as a
NT server or just another workstation, but it does understand Windows
Shares. If you are looking for info on Samba,
http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba appears to be a good source.
