Hello all...(summary of answers)
Toward the end of October I posted a note on Info-AFS requesting info
about AFS or DCE products for the IBM PC or Apple Mac. This is the
only email answer I got:

Since October I've attended the AFS user conference (early November);
it sounds like the Mich.Edu people are trying to integrate IBM and
AppleMac computers into their AFS network. I'm not aware of any other
efforts.
