Evan,

Could you do me a favor and let me know of any other config issues you had with the Clipper stuff. My company just bought another company that is running on Novell. We are going to yank out their network and replace it with NT. They also have a billing program written in Clipper 5.2 that is going to have to run under NT for a while till I get a chance to rewrite it.

Thanks,

PF

We tested it on NT4 workstation and it bombed with "too many files open". This error happened even after increasing the files in CONFIG.SYS.
