AREV Specific

   I have got a problem with my application which runs on AREV 3.11 under Novell 4.11. My problem appears after installation NLM. One subroutine crashs with message: The record on the file ...... is locked and the system is re-trying. The application activity without NLM is OK. The station runs with DOS 6.22, client is VLM 1.10. Can anybody help me? My question is following: In which sense differs the locking under NLM from state without NLM?

   The second problem concerns AREV verification process of table SYSLHGROUP. During verification of this table on location REVBOOT after 80% done came to the halting of server. This problem doesn't exist, if I stop NLM again. Verification process runs on station with Win95+Client 32.

                         Thanks

I'm assuming you mean Netware Loadable Module. Which is executed on the Novell server itself.

What is the NLM that is causing the problems?

Also ask yourself if this NLM is necessary? If it works without it, why change?
