sharing a unified dbaseIII file between 4 SCO boxes

Hi,

I have an application which must use a unified database, the application will run on 4 SCO boxes, so the database will be in one of them and the application in the other 3 servers will access this database on the host machine. This is as a file sharing application in windows. I know this can be done using NFS/NIS in Unix. I just need a hint how/where to start.

man nfs - man nis ; both gave some info, but not helpful for my level. Any hints? A hint would be enough as I like to DIG my head to learn better.

An no this is not a homework, it is a jobwork, and i am new to unix. thanks.

DtDbLoad(library call)													    DtDbLoad(library call)

NAME
DtDbLoad -- load actions and data types database SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Action.h> void DtDbLoad(void) DESCRIPTION
The DtDbLoad function loads the actions and data types database into the application. When the function returns, the database has been loaded. An environment variable determines the set of directories to be searched. The DtDbLoad function loads all actions and data types defined in files with a .dt suffix located in these directories. The directory search path is based on the value of the DTDATABASESEARCHPATH environment variable and internal defaults. DTDATABASESEARCH- PATH contains a comma-separated list of directories in [host:]/path format. The application must call DtDbLoad before calling any of the routines that query either the action or data type databases. If called multiple times, the old databases are freed before the new ones are created. RETURN VALUE
The DtDbLoad function returns no value. APPLICATION USAGE
If this function is used in a long-lived application, the application must dynamically reload the databases when they are modified. To do this, the client must register to receive notification whenever the actions and data types database needs to be modified. It is up to the application to recall DtDbLoad after receiving notification. This is done with a call to DtDbReloadNotify(3). If errors are encountered when reading the database files, error messages are written to the user's errorlog file ($HOME/.dt/errorlog). Records containing errors are not incorporated into the internal database. SEE ALSO
