  The Terse NAS? Dept 
 The Question is:
 
What does NAS stand for ?
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Network Attached Storage, Network Application Server(s), Network
  Application Support, Network Application System, and likely various
  other translations depending on the particular context.
 
  As stated in the introduction to asking a question, a one- or two-line
  question can often be surprisingly difficult to answer.  This is such
  a case.  The OpenVMS Wizard will GUESS that this is a reference to
  either Network Attached Storage or to the Network Application Support
  licensing package and the NET-APP-SUPP license product authorization
  keys (PAKs).  The other translations of NAS are equally valid, but are
  typically used somewhat less often than are these two translations.
