When you access a directory on a Windows 95 NetWare-compatible peer server,
you are unable to create a file in a directory where the NetWare or
compatible client has create permissions and no write permissions.

This problem occurs because the CreateFile request expects a file handle to
be returned that cannot be written to or read from. The underlying
operating system on the server (Windows 95) does not support this type of
network request.

To resolve this problem, give the user write permissions to the directory,
as well as create permissions.

Networking programs sometimes attempt to use file creation and existence as
a method of serialization (copy-protection). This problem may occur with
such programs. If you have a program that requires this serialization
technique and also requires secure access to files in the same directory,
you should move the program to a true NetWare server.
