1. FoxPro executable (FOXL.EXE) would not start - it would hang on the introduction screen. It would, however, start from the local disk and open the database filed residing on the shared drive - albeit slow. I have turned off the strict locking and turned on the oplocks, but it didn't help. What helped was turning the locks off completely - FoxPro then started to run from the network disk. What happened next is very interesting - I turned locks on back again and restarted smbd, and Fox continued to run! This seems to have solved the problem with running the executable itself, but I don't know if I should think of it as solved. Any further suggestions on this?
2. Allthough file name handling is set to "case insensitive", FoxPro+Samba combination seems to intruduce some case sensitivity - for example, "compile *.prg" behaves differently from "compile *.PRG" - the former say that files are not found, but the latter compiles them without errors. Any suggestions on this too?
3. And, as always, the speed problem. Inserting records into a DBF database via the FoxPro application is painfully slow - more then one second per record. I have seen various client tuning tips, but most of them were using Windows registry - none covered DOS networking client. Can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance !!
