I'm having serious difficulty getting SCO FoxBase+ to index. This is what
happens:

.use mainm
.index on dogname to dog
 file not found
.index on dogname to dog
 file is in use

The runaround if I have ever seen one. Dogname is part of the data base
structure, and a smaller version of the file will index perfectly. The 
large version is 1.27 megabytes, and the small version isn't more than 
two or three Kbytes. Ulimit allows for files up to one Gigabyte, so
that's not the problem. Also, when I restore the file and the old index
off of backup and reindex, it says "file not found". Same goes for 
PACK ALL and PACK. Does anyone out there have an idea as to what the
problem may be? This is SCO XENIX V2.2.3 SYS V, foxbase version 1.0.3.
Reply to me using mail, unless everyone else on this discussion would be
keenly interested in the solution. Thanks.
