I have written a program in Turbo Pasca 6.0 (ReadMail) and I got
the following message:


=============================================================================== 
Complaint:
  Well, not really; more like a bug report. I use an AT hooked up to the Sun
  here via NFS. READMAIL just doesn't want to access the network drives;
  thus I have to copy down to the local HD all the files which I want to view.
  Very annoying. Here's the errors that are generated:
 
  Upon getting a valid filename, and attempting to read:
     error 5 @ 0000:108E
     (when given a non-existant file, I'm told rather nicely that fact)
 
  Upon being told to "print" to a filename on a network drive:
     error 6 @ 0000:9DC0
 
=============================================================================== 

I have no experience with NFS networks, so I have no idea what is wrong here.

Can someone please tell me what the problem is and how it can be fixed?

Thanks,

Jeroen Schipper
