- Hi:
- We are experiencing some problems running Clipper based application
- across a network of 30 PC's running FTP's PC/TCP Plus and Server
- running SCO ODT v1.1. The scenario of the network is, Server has the
- database (Clipper) application's executables and other stuff and PC's mount
- this FS as one of the drives and run the application.
-
- The problem we are experiencing are:
- 1. losing some of the entered records (some is an understatement!)
- 2. leaving some blank records at the top or in the middle of a dbf
- file
- 3. sometimes the screens freeze (thus forcing me to use three finger
- salute!) etc.
-
- So, I was wondering did anyone out there experienced similar problems with
- the particular setup as above. And also any pointers or suggestions, as
- what should i do etc. Please e-mail responses, I would summarize them
- later if there is enough response.
-
- Thanks in advance.

- my boss offf my back!!!!!!)
