    PCNFS.DRV

Problem Description: 

    Network printer connections performed with Windows 3.1 are not 
    restored if Windows is stopped and restarted.  Windows expects
    printer connections to be listed in win.ini as LPTn=system:printer.
    With PC-NFS the win.ini entry was LPTn:=system:printer.  The extra
    colon prevented Windows from recognizing the entry as a valid 
    network printer mount entry.
