SUMMARY
=======

Wang's WINLOC program causes Windows for Workgroups to stop responding (hang)
when you attempt to communicate with the Wang VS network.

CAUSE
=====

The WINLOC program is a driver/protocol configuration that is designed to work
specifically with the Wang WLOC network card. WINLOC takes preemptive control of
the network interface card, which puts it in conflict with the Windows for
Workgroups network redirector.

There is no workaround at this time.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft;

or reliability.
