Bret,
>Up to date the worst Novell network I have seen had at least 50K/sec read/write speed and generally no less than 450K/sec. At least you live with a speed needed to read/write fox tables. File create, check routine is very fast and should be too in Novell (dropped using 3-4 years ago). A simple one is :
>

lcMyServerFile = lcMyServerDBFSPath+"\"+sys(2015)+".tmp"
>handle=fcreate(lcMyServerFile)
>=fclose(handle)
>lcDate = fdate(lcMyServerFile)
>lcTime = ftime(lcMyServerFile)
>erase (lcMyServerFile)

OTOH since it's Novell you have another option. You might query server time (SysTime) using Novell netware API. The API SDK was on their site. You could even check the files a particular station is opened, read/writes to files etc. (easy to say :) I had ASM code in FoxDOS days that doing some Novell query but now I cannot use "load","call" commands in Fox :(

Thanks again Cetin we are currently checking out a couple of scheme to see if they are feasible to place into our next version.
