- I have WB 4.x (I don't remember) and 5.0 for Unix (10 user license). I also
- have 5.0 for DOS. I have a couple of machines running NFS with 5.0 loaded,
- and 5.0 under Unix is much slower as compared against it running under DOS
- (or Merge). Even with light activity on the server, it takes a couple of
- seconds for the "View Printed Page" option under Unix, but under DOS (and
- Merge) it just "pops right up". Has anyone else noticed this, and if so,
- do you have any ideas? We have plenty of RAM (24 megabytes) - and don't
- see any swapping.
-
- We run it under SVR4 -- and without a GUI.
