Yes, there are some software packages for Novell that does not run, or does not run well with SFTIII. From what I have seen, it has been related with large data related NLMs on the server that manipulate large amounts of information on the server. It seems that when the large data base programs run at the workstation level, SFT3 does not conflict. However, when the same information is actually be processed on the server level, it causes a problem with SFT3. Arcserver is one of the applications. That might be what is happening with you.
