Q:  3+Backup fails when attempting to backup dBASE III directories.
Why? What can be done about this?

A:  If somebody is running dBASE III Plus multiuser when it is its
turn to be backed up, one specific file causes problems.  The
backup halts at the file dba.ctl in the DBNETCTL.300 subdirectory.

The backup code contains special checks in both the "open file"
and "read file" functions for error codes that indicate that a
file is locked or not openable because of a possible sharing
violation.

A patch diskette (May 1987) is available from Customer Services.
This is not a problem in 3+Backup versions 1.2.1 and later.
