Default Btrieve 6.15 and dosbox in windows XP - 04-28-2006 , 06:57 PM






Is it possible to start multiple dosboxes in XP that uses BTrieve. The first dosbox works fine. The second doesn't works because the transaction control file, I think.

Is there someone that could help me?

Peter

You can probably get it to work, but it will be VERY ugly, and your are
right -- each DOS box will need its own Trans File. These can be
specified on the command line, I think.

A better solution is to move to Btrieve v9, included in Pervasive PSQL
v9. It will run your 6.15 app, but from a Win32 engine, having MUCH
more memory, resulting in better performance and stability (and it
eliminates the worry about the DOS box).
