You should also know that neither dBASE IV 1.0 nor 1.1 has been
certified to work with Lantastic. I just checked with the DOS
multiuser guys, and they said that 1.1 "seemed to work" with it,
but that is *not* the same as having passed the certification
suites. I would also check to see if you have the latest version
of Lantastic. Anyone else with this configuration?
