AREV Specific

My Configuration is as follows:

   AREV 2.03

   Netware 4.1

   WIN95 & NT Workstations

   NLM(v1.5)

I have upgraded from AREV 1.12 to 2.03 and installed the NLM.

On WIN95 Workstations everything works great.

On NT Workstations I have experienced the following problems:

 1. When I SUSPEND out of AREV to the DOS shell the following error occurs when I type EXIT to return to AREV:

        AN ERROR HAS OCCURED DURING THE SUSPEND OPERATION

        THE UNDEFINED STATUS ERROR CODE OF 1 PROCESS

                  HAS BEEN CANCELED

       ... Everthing seems to work ok

 2.  When I do PCPERFORM's from basic programs the following

     sequence of events causes problems:

       ... Issue a NOVELL Capture command

             ... (Works OK)

       ... Print a report

       ... Report does get spooled to the proper printer

                       (although it is garbage)

       ... Issue a NOVELL CAPTURE /ENDCAP command

             ... (At this point NT dies....To get NT back the

                  computer must be physically turned off)

       ... The Report is released to the network printer after

           NT is rebooted, but only garbage prints on the printer

 ???? Are problems 1 & 2 related????

I would appreciate any help on solving this problem.

Re (1) check the comspec= variable is set in the environment. It will be command.com for Win 95 and CMD.EXE for Win NT

- At TCL type

EVAL PRINT @ROLLOUT.FILE

then check that you have delete and write and create access rights to that path.

re (2) The Novell print spool problem could be the Novell client you are using. Try the Netware Intranetware Client 2.2.0.0 and see if the problem persists. Also try resetting the /NA (Autoendcap) flag.
