[comp.unix.xenix] vpix problem

We are having a problem using vpix.  It appears that on certain computers
there is a problem creating and writing to files.  It seems to think for
some reason the hard disk is full when in reallity it is not.  Other dos
software works fine.

We know of three computers that this software will work on under vpix
and two computers that it will not work on.  The three that work are
PS/2 model 80 and 70's.  The two that it does not work on are
different 386 cloans.  Both the cloans also have VGNA cards in them.
VGNA is a multiport card called an 'Un-terminal' which runs full
graphic on each terminal and looks an acts like another console.  The
VGNA card seems to be working fine.

We are using update A under version 2.3.3 of Xenix.  I have a working
system in office and a non-working system here also.  They both
seem to be set the same.

The in-house working computer (IBM Mod 80, 8514 display) will not
display in color (everything is black and white).  I do not think
this is related but is irritating.  We know of a PS/2 mod 70 off site
that runs the software fine and in color.

Any help would be appreciated as we have sold a 386 cloan and assured
the customer that it would run the dos software they wanted.  Now we
have egg on our faces and don't have any ideas!
