Couple of quick questions maybe somebody out in netland can help me with.
First a little background on the machines involved. A 386, Esix, WD8803E
over to 386SX DOS 5.0 NFS 3.0.1.
The problem is with Clipper 5.0 apps.
1.) When clipper tries to reindex a file accross the network it creates
hidden temp files (most likely with goofy filenames) and the database
is corrupted. Is this a known bug? Any workaround?
2.) I seem to have a 50 filename limit in PC-NFS. More than 50 filenames
in one directory causes the net to hang. Workaround? Fixed in NFS
3.5?
3.) Rpcinfo reports version 1 of the file locking manger on port 100021.
Shouldn't this be version 2?

Fixed in NFS > 3.5? I too have found this annoying problem with pcnfs 3.0.1. Usually however the net doesn't hang but refuses to write any more files (create/access errors). I don't use clipper so can't help you with the other questions but another thing to try is to mount the network disk application as a root directory and not being a subdirectory. ie instead of net use e: \\server\clipper\application (or whatever you have) try net use e: \\server\application I have had problems withother software disappear by doing this. doug@psy.uwa.oz.au
