I have Novell 4.1 with Novell Client 32 newest version as primary login. I have three other NT boxes in an NT domain as well. I primarily use the Novell box for file services for Foxpro Dev. I am starting to use UNC instead of drive mapping and in time hope to completly work this way.

You cannot do this with 16 bit like Fox 2.6, Visual almost works I have to set default to:
j:\Customer Files - Commercial\Santech

My path from above default can be (j:\ is \\IXSYS\VOL1\):
SET PATH TO classes,data,forms,graphics,include,libs,main,menus,progs,reports,;
\\IXSYS\VOL1\DEVELOPMENT\VFP6\CEE6,;
\\IXSYS\VOL1\DEVELOPMENT\VFP6\IX.SYS\LIBS

This is much better than drive letters which at some qty of devices have to be juggled with mapping outside of Fox (or inside with a add-on lib). I can also utilize the NT boxes as well under the same scheme which is self documenting.
