[comp.protocols.nfs] PCNFS and WordPerfect 5.1?

ted@arsocomvax.socom.mil (Ted Nolan) (01/17/91)

Hello folks,

We have a user who has done a straight install of WordPerfect 5.1 into
his home directory which is mounted from a SunOS 4.0.3 machine onto PC
drive G:.  (That is to say, he followed the hard disk install
procedure, not the network procedure, as no one will be using this but
him.)

Most of the time it works ok, but sometimes he starts getting a message
saying that WordPerfect can't find a file called "wp.fil".  This file
is in fact present, and tcpdump suggests that the server is responding
in the affirmative when asked for it.  He can generally provoke this
behavoir by doing a pattern search through all his wp files.

The PC is a Zenith 248 AT running PCNFS 3.0.1 on a ni5210 card.

Has anyone had this problem?  Do you have a solution?
