Well, there you have it.  WfW 32-bit file access bypasses the file system --
i.e. DOS, whether Microsoft's or Caldera's.  It's incompatible with lots
of things.  Symantec's DISKREET.SYS driver springs to mind.  Oh, and the
old familiar batch trick of testing for a subdirectory using
IF EXIST C:\MYDIR\NUL fails under WfW 32BFA too.  Your problem is probably
not Caldera's fault, just a byproduct of the way 32BFA works.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet you a green-chile enchilada against a
bucket of borscht that the DR DOS password scheme also breaks under 32BFA.
