I am setting up an Ethernet network that uses TCP/IP and PC-NFS with a
Sun SPARC II for a server.  Anybody know if Clipper will properly handle
shared files on the server when network drives are mounted with Sun's
PC-NFS?  When I called Clipper, the support guy said that there may be a
bug that gives a net-error when reading files over the net.  It is kinda
important to me to know if this is true.  I don't want to tell people
they should be able to network their applications then find they can't
because Clipper has a bug (this is 5.0 by the way).

Anybody have experience with Clipper over this type of network?
