I have a costumer that is complaining about bad performance using Novell
4.10 and Client32. I have updated the Client32 to version 2.11, but it
did not solve the problem. If she is running the program on one machine,
it opens up in abour 4 seconds. If the program is already running on
another machine, it opens up in 17 seconds.
This makes me think about a similar problem on Win/NT server. If you try
to open a file for exclusive use that is already in use, it takes NT 1
second to perform retries until it gives up and returns to the
application.
My application tries first to open a file exclusively to perform some
checking for then (or on error) to open it for shared use.

My question is: Does Novell 4.10 with Client32 automatically retry to
open a file that is in use?
