SUMMARY
FoxBASE+ for the Macintosh (FoxBASE+/Mac) can seamlessly access files from a Novell version 2.15c network. FoxBASE+/Mac and FoxBASE+ for MS-DOS use the same code and access the same type databases.



MORE INFORMATION
To use a Novell network, install the Novell Macintosh VAP software. Shared indexes must be PC-type indexes, not Macintosh-type indexes. To make the data available to all workstations on the network, place the databases and indexes on the server. Use the FoxBASE+ version appropriate to each workstation. In this configuration, record locking and file locking are supported as expected.

NOTE: Each workstation must have a copy of the FoxUSER file. Do not place the FoxUSER file on the server. If a CONFIG.FX file is required, it must be available on each workstation.
