The DBASE IV vers1.1 (I think) readme.doc file states that for
each PC running DBASE IV on a network, 300k of disk space is
needed for temporary file use. Our setup uses the LAN server's
disk for these temp files. But, when there are 10 PC's running the
program, 3 Meg of disk space is required or the system hangs.
Besides the obvious 'that sucks' response, is there any way
to reduce the size required for the temp files?
Please e-mail. We need a solution asap.

Thanks,

Tom.
p.s. why does DBASE IV require so much disk space for temp files?
