- NetWare 2.15c with AppleTalk VAPs 2.15

- Strange problem #1:
- Locked files are being interpreted as aliases by System 7 machines.
- When one of these files is opened we get the message:
- The alias "XXX" could not be
- opened, because this item is really not
- an alias (oops!). The problem has
- now been corrected. Please try again.
-
- The finder then "corrects" the problem, which results
- with an unlocked file. Everthing is normal under System 6.
-
- Strange problem #2:
- When copying a folder with some files inside it from a
- local disk to a server disk we get the message:
- The file "XXX" couldn't be
- written, because it cannot be found. Do
- you want to continue copying?
-
- Again, everything behaves normally under System 6.
-
- I have rebuilt the desktop under Sys 6 but I don't
- know of a way to force Sys 7 to do it.
-
- Much gratitude to all who can help.
