[comp.windows.ms] Windows, Netware, and SiteLock

paul@aucs.AcadiaU.ca (Paul Steele) (04/11/91)

I have just installed a single copy of PageMaker 4.0 on our network and hoped
that SiteLock would work for controlling simulataneous access to the
program. As it turns out, Sitelock does detect Window 3's launch of PM4.EXE
and prevents subsequent users from executing the program (Windows reports
a DOS error 5 and Sitelock sends it standard lockset message).  However,
when the user quits PM4, Sitelock fails to notice and does not release the
lockset.  It appears that the only way to clear the lockset is to re-login
to Netware, which is quite a nuisance.

What are other people's experiences with Windows and Sitelock usage under
Novell Netware?
