- Sure. Everything is working exactly as it should. No problems.

- (There is no NFS "close" operation. Therefore a server has to be
- prepared to honour a file handle for as long as the file exists,
- or until the next "fsirand"..... To avoid the cost of repeated
- DOS file open/close operations, SOSS keeps each file open as long
- as possible. )
