We are currently running informix SQL & 4GL on Turbo

Our working directories are on our SUN server and NFSed onto
our HP 9000/835 where Informix runs.

When using I4Gl and ISQL to create .sql files and .4gl files,
after the files are created, they never appear in the menu's
list of files.  You can use/access/compile/run them if you
know their names, they just do not appear in the menu file
list.  When the files are located directly on the HP, they 
appear in the menu file list.  ergo, some problem Informix
has with files that are located elsewhere and made available
through NFS.

The obvious solution is to place all the files on the HP.  The
better solution for us is to find some way to work around this
bug or find a fix.  Can anyone help?

Thank you.
