- Why don't you have a chat with the people at Word Perfect Corp. and give
- Novell a break? I can repeat the problem you describe in WordPerfect 2.1.2
- but when I do the same thing with Word 5.1a I can re-establish the QT link
- to the copy of the movie on the server without any problems. (That's QT
- 1.5 running under System 7.0.1 tuned.)
-
- I think you may be barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.
-
- I'm using Novell v. 3.11 and NW4MAC 3.011... your mileage may vary.
