So far, PC-NFS and Windows 3.0 work fairly well together.  One strange
thing that has happened (occassionally) is that after finding all the
applications on a network disk during an installation, the control
panel just aborts.  No error messages, it's as if I simply hit
<cancel>.  This happens just after it's found all the applications,
and before I get a chance to pick the ones I want.  Anybody have a
clue to this odd behavior?

In a second, possibly unrelated issue.  Has anyway seen any instances
of Word for Windows garbaging large files.  I have someone attempting
to edit a 40+ page document.  Things will go fine for a few days them,
wham!  No more useable document.  The junking ususally occurs near the
end of the file.  This is all on a 286, and with a fairly naive user.
I can't guarentee he isn't doing something crazy, but it doesn't speak
well for the robustness of Word for Windows.

Thanks in advance for any help.
