Toshi Kawanishi (in <1990Apr3.174610.10873@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu>) asked several questions about Btrieve, Clipper, PC-NFS 3.0 and SunOS 4.0.3. Since these questions come up with some regularity, I'm taking the liberty of posting part of what Steve McCarthy mailed back to Toshi. > The rpc.lockd that is shipped with Sun OS 4.0.3 > does not support DOS file locking/sharing [correctly]. You must install > the lockd which is found on the PC-NFS 3.0.1 server diskette. > > Also, you must use PC-NFS 3.0.1 (shipping since July 1989) > when using Clipper locking calls. Version 3.0 did not > detect a return error during a failed lock request. Geoff Arnold, PC-NFS architect, Sun Microsystems.
