SYMPTOMSAn MS-DOS-based application that does record locking on file(s) located on a Novell NetWare server may experience problems if it shells out of the application while the locks are held. For example, the application may be prematurely terminated when it tries to close the locks it originally opened. CAUSEIf the shell application takes any action that would cause its own record locks to be closed, the locks held by the parent application are also closed. NWRDR does not maintain the locks held by the parent application in this scenario. RESOLUTION
Avoid shelling out of MS-DOS-based applications that open files on NetWare
servers or obtain an updated version of Nwrdr.sys.
