I have been trying to setup a small 3 user system using Arev 3.12,
Win95 and Lantastic 7.0. After setting up Lantastic under Win95 on
all drives, I have then set all drives to Drive R, (essentially
setting up a peer to peer type network) I have experienced problems
which seem to prevent this process from working correctly. The problem
manifests itself by the system hanging while perform a very simple
task. The task is a small program which uses a saved select list of
some 55000 record ids. The program uses readnext logic to obtain the
next record id, prints the id and a counter to the screen, attempts to
read a record, if the record is not present the routine will print
another line repaeting the id and counter. When run on any of the
machines the routine hangs after processing approx 28300 records, not
always the same record, but thereabouts in the list. Since this simple
routine will not work there appears to be little point in endeavouring
to run more sophisticated routines. I can correct the problem by
installing Lantastic in Dos mode but this really does not resolve the
problem.
If there are any users who have setup Arev using Win95 and Lantastic
successfully I would appreciate any advice that you can give me.
Kindest regards
