+#Instructions for creating and using a real nfsCommands file
+# 
+# in order to use nfs do the following:
+# 1) Create hostAdd and nfsMount commands for each nfs server
+# 2) In each st.cmd file add the following two commands BEFORE any load commands
+#    ../nfs.cmd
+#    cd "<iocname>
+# 
+# The hostAdd command has the form:
+# hostAdd("<host>","xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")
+# 
+# You can also mount subdirectories as follows:
+# nfsMount("<host>", "/xxx/xxx/xxx", "/xxx")
+# 
+# For example assume
+# 
+# host is mercury with inet address 155.77.2.56
+# You want to mount the directory (which is a file system of mercury)
+# /home/mercury5/iocinfo
+#    as

+#
