Years ago  I developed a database working with dBase IV 1.0 on a slow
machine. It consists of some tables with index files. The database worked
fine, until I installed it on a faster machine with 66 MHz. Suddenly every
time I changed data in the table and dBase tried to reindex or I tried to
make a new index file (reindex, ...), dBase answered with "file already
open" and aborted.
By Slowing down the new machine to 33 MHz the making of the new index file
worked fine.

Hope somebody has had the same problem and can help me.

Versions of dBASE IV prior to version 1.5 build x71 (Aug 94) have a 
problem running on faster CPU's because temporary file names are based 
upon the clock and it performs too many operations in less than a tick.

To find the rest of the dBASE world, tune into the news groups operated 
by the new owners at news.dBASE2000.com.  It is anticipated that these 
newsgroups will close soon.
