Speaking for myself and not as a support person for Ashton-Tate, (although I
am), I would hesitate to recommend PC-NFS for use with multi-user dBASE IV 1.1
if you intended to do multiuser file and record locking.  Suffice it to say
that A-T and SUN are aware that problems exist and are working to solve them.
The single user version of dBASE IV operates fine on PC-NFS.  With the 
exception of a minor install glitch, the multi-user version also appears to
work with the restriction noted above.
