I have for some time now been seeking a solution to a file locking
problem which appears under Client 32 for DOS/Windows but not under
VLM or NETX.  The only suggestion I have received (and more than once)
is to apply a Client 32 for Win95 patch, to which I have been
responding, "But I'm not running Windows 95."

Should I still try to apply a Windows 95 client patch to this DOS
client?  Surely Novell would release the same patch into the Client 32
for DOS/Windows structure if this were so--but then, who am I to
second-guess Novell? :-)

For those who haven't seen my descriptions of this problem ... A
Ca-Clipper application running on a station under Client 32 for
DOS/Windows cannot see locks held by instances of the app running on
other stations on the same NetWare LAN.  This *only* applies to Client
32 stations, not to VLM or NETX stations.  Also, Client 32 stations
running Clipper apps are not aware of file size changes, so I get
overwritten log file entries, records trashed by APPEND BLANK commands
which don't bother to go to EOF before writing, etc.  This, of course,
makes Client 32 for DOS/Windows completely unviable here for the time
being--which is most unfortunate, as this client saves enough memory
to have earned the keen interest of my boss...who keeps visiting me
with "Does this work yet" and other, sometimes more colorfully worded,
questions... :-)
