 John,

 One of my customers recently experienced the same problem when loading a
 networked version of Dbase III+ on a Banyan server.  The problem was found
 to be a bug in the Dbase which inhibited loading it on drives with size
 greater than 40MB.  We obtained a patch from Ashton-Tate and to my knowledge
 this fixed the problem.
