We had much the same problem with a package called SAS on our PC-NFS
network, which was solved by adding an extra flag to the NFS driver.
The flag has something to do with the amount of files that NFS allows you
to open.  The following worked for us...


In the CONFIG.SYS file, where the driver PCNFS.SYS is loaded.  


....
DEVICE = C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /F 75
                          ^^^^^
			  add this, increase or decrease the number as
			  required.
