Quoting David Wrobel to Lawrence Gordon:
DW> Oh really???  What types of operations crash the program?  Or do *ALL* 
DW> PB compiled programs crash if run on a v3.12 network?
Certainly not all. The problem has to do with Netware and the way it
remaps network drives/directories and occurs when the program is run from
the networked drive, not the local one.  For instance, if my program
is set up to look for files in I:\INBOUND and to toss them to 
J:\BBS\NEWFILES, as long as the program is run from the machine where 
the files are physically located (the local drive), it will run fine.  
On the other hand, if the program is run from the networked drive, it 
crashes with an Error 76 (Path not found).  As far as I know, this problem
only occurs Netware v3.12.
You might also want to know that crashing on v3.12 is not unique to PB;
I have also heard reports that Turbo Pascal and Turbo C (not Borland/Turbo
C++) programs have had similar difficulties with Netware v3.12.
