Econet in all its guises • quick query on ANFS?

ANFS is a 16k ROM right ? DNFS is a 16k ROM, NFS is an 8k ROM.

Does ANFS have DFS code within it as DNFS does?

I have a PiEconetBridge with the new 2.1 version installed.

I use ANFS 4.18 in my ModelB as I find NFS is a bit flakey when making trunk calls to the TNMOC cloud
or other cloud fileservers? Sometimes it is fine but more often than not is hangs up a bit or fails to connect.
With ANFS on my Master or Model B I don't get this issue.

DNFS is effectively a combo of DFS and NFS 3.60, right.

Looking through the ANFS manual some things jumped out/confused me (below) so just wanted an answer to
first question in bold at the top. e.g. The Tube Host code is present , just wondered if any other aspects
of DFS or the whole thing was present. The crux here being really - i

Is ANFS an improvement on NFS or is it or is it a development of DNFS?

from the manual.

To prevent problems which would otherwise occur when the ANFS ROM
and the DNFS ROM are both plugged in to the same machine an automatic
mechanism will "frugal" the NFS part of the DNFS ROM so that the
machine will function correctly. This is necessary if a machine is to
have both Econet (ANFS) and DFS.

1.20 Tube host code.
The ANFS ROM has the Tube host code the same as the DNFS had. The
operation of the Tube code does not rely on the existence of the Econet
hardware

Hope I make sense, thanks
