1843.0. "DOS application hangs when saving" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Mark Sowards) Wed Apr 30 1997 13:24

I've installed Pathworks 6.1 on a 2100.  The win95 clients can see the shared
directories and files, but when they run a Win app (i.e. Word) the
applications
seem to hang when they attempt to save to the shared directories.  I have the
same set up in my office on a Alpha 200 and I have no problems.  Are there any
known causes for this?

We've run alot of MS-Office tests against a 2100 and haven't seen any problems with them 
hanging.  There are known problems with saving files to a share with Office apps
that are fixed in 6.1A.  The save would fail, not just hang.  They should upgrade to 6.1A.

1843.2Version 6.1A workedNNTPD::"[email protected]"Mark SowardsMon May 05 1997 11:5310
It was real strange.  I was able to read and write to the PW shared directory
from a Win95 machine using NotePad, but when I tried to save using either 
MS Word or the Write applett the saves failed (the application hung).  The 
document would be entered in the directory, but subsequent attempts to read
them
failed.  
   So we Upgraded to PW OSF 6.1A and it all worked.  Almost all.
   See next posting......   
           Thanks again for you help.
