Subject: Installation of PARADOX on a PC-NFS network?

I have recently obtained Borland's PARADOX 3.0, however I am having
trouble getting it to work the way I want.

We are running the Sun Microsystems PC-NFS product v 3.0.1.

Initially my problem was that I installed PARADOX onto a network drive,
but I installed it as a single user rather than network version.
Everytime I attempted to run it it complained that the location for
PARADOX.NET had not been specified.  Foiled...

Next I installed it as a network version, I specified that the network
type was 7 (Other) and that the PARADOX.NET file was on my H:\ drive.
PARADOX was installed on my K:\ drive to which I have read/write rights.
It now seems to work OK.

Next I changed K:\ so it was read-only as we have bought 6 lan packs and
according to the manual the PARADOX Directory can be Read only.  Now when
I start up PARADOX it says "Loading...", "User 1 of 31..." and then seems
to give up.  The PC-NFS activity BLIP flickers about every 1/2-1 sec. but
no further progress is made.  Reboot time...

Has anyone successfully installed PARADOX on a PC-NFS based network?  And
if you have what was needed to get it to work?  I know PC-NFS is not one
of the supported networks but we have had reasonable success with many
other network applications so I thought it was worth trying.

Any hints would be appreciated....
