Hi all,

Is there anyone out there who knows about running Btrieve over TCP/IP
on DOS workstations?

We have a half dozen legacy applications that are waiting to be
re-written. They currently run on DOS workstations using IPX.

The workstations have

MS-DOS 6.22
Novell Client 32 for DOS
Btrieve BREQUEST requester

Looking around the internet I various allusions to running Novell LAN
workplace, TCP/IP and Btrieve not not much for Client32. I don't think
that the Novell LAN Workplace software is avaiable any more.

So, does anyone have any experice of using TCP/IP with Client32 and Btrieve
in a DOS environment?

TIA!

Guy

I did get an MS-DOS application working on Windows-XP with the use of
DoxBox, which is included in
Pervasive7, connecting to a Windows2000 server via TCP/IP

But that was more than 6 years ago.....
(Althoug i think they are still running that application.....)

That we've been able to do. We can even do it on Vista. However, the
XP and Vista DOSboxes run the application programs much more slowly
than the MS-DOS workstations do.

The particular applicaitons we're running are long running batch
programs which need the performance of a MS-DOS workstation.

I played around with it a few years ago but never got it to work. IIRC, the
TCP/IP drivers were geared towards NT clients and not Netware. If you are
staying with Netware there's no reason not to just stick with IPX for the
DOS stations. Netware can handle both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX without problems
and I'm pretty sure the Pervasive Btrieve server can as well.
