 Couple of quick questions maybe somebody out in netland can help me with.
 First a little background on the machines involved. A 386, Esix, WD8803E
 over to 386SX DOS 5.0 NFS 3.0.1. 

 The problem is with Clipper 5.0 apps.

 1.) When clipper tries to reindex a file accross the network it creates
     hidden temp files (most likely with goofy filenames) and the database
     is corrupted. Is this a known bug? Any workaround?

 2.) I seem to have a 50 filename limit in PC-NFS. More than 50 filenames
     in one directory causes the net to hang. Workaround? Fixed in NFS
     3.5?

 3.) Rpcinfo reports version 1 of the file locking manger on port 100021.
     Shouldn't this be version 2?
