Does anyone out there have experience with using
DOS D-Base IV on a pc-nfs network

What I want to do is install D-Base IV on a pc-nfs
mounted drive (physically situated on a SUN disk),
instead of a local pc drive.


The problem is when I run the D-Base install program
and specify the K: drive as the install drive,  installation
completes OK but executing D-Base hangs the pc.

	It runs OK if I install on to C: drive.

	I have tried this running PC NFS 3.0.1, and more recently
on PC NFS 3.5 (demo version of v.4).  I have not as yet received 
version 4.

	Any clues.
