Don't forget to configure "UniqueDOSPSP-true" in your SYSTEM.INI
file. (Check the README files for details.) PC-NFS uses the PSP as the
process id for file locking, and if you try to run multiple Windows apps
accessing the same files the lock manager needs to be able to
distinguish between them....
