samba - Jan 2002 - Viewing *.hpgl files from a unix Host via a mapped drive on Windows 2000

I am Cad administrator and am interested in Samba but not sure if it will work
for my purposes.
     I have HP-UX server (host) where the Cad (*.hpgl) files reside.  Our
document control administrator typically would view these files from her windows
95 client (windows Explorer) via NFS Maestro.  Since the administrator is
bumping the O.S. to Windows 2000 I can not use Hummingbird NFS Maestro unless
the department forks up some money.  Will Samba work for this objective or ???

Any help to a green Samba prospective is greatly appreciated.

It sounds to me like you have pretty basic needs, you just need to be
able to map a directory on the UNIX server as a drive on your PC. Samba
can do that quite well, and configuring it should be simple.
