I am using powerbasic to write files out on a novell network.  Every once 
in a while I will get a file access error back from the network.  I know 
it is not my code because everything is OK when the code runs on the hard 
drive.  I have noticed that the program seems to slow down just before 
the crash.  Does this mean it is caused by traffic?  If so, how come the 
network does not take care of it for me?  Do I have to trap and handle 
all the errors it gives back? I also noticed there was data-loss in the 
file at the error-point (which really scares me).   I e-mailed powerbasic 
and they said it was a hub about to go down.  The network administrator 
tells me they are wrong and powerbasic itself is at fault.  

HELP
