• Passwords are have to be ALL uppercase or ALL lowercase in the Users And Groups setup, WebStar doesn't support mixed upper and lowercase passwords!
• Folders or files starting with a number or a single letter then a number don't work. Don't understand this problem at the moment!
• Search is using a Synchronous search that will hog the processor time and is VERY slow over networks. Only recommended for local volumes, if at all.
• Users will be put in a wait loop if there isn't enough memory to serve them. When more memory becomes available they get access to their content. There is a SMALL chance that on extrememly busy sites, a user could be unlucky enough to be stuck for a while (no time priority)
