We are using AREV 2.1 on NT Server 4.0 SP5. It was funning under Novell system and we recently moved to NT box with NT Service 1.5.
One of our user was running big report from her Windows 95 machine, she got an error said "FCB Unavailable" and stopped.
Anyone knows what it is and how to correct it?
Thank you for your help…

Guessing here, but
FCB=file control block - a really old method of accessing files, and used in some rare cases nowadays to get volume labels and the like.
Try increasing the file handles on the workstation in config.sys, and optionally try a FCBS=9,256 statement in config.sys (check your manual for the exact syntax). These steps may reduce memory under 640 kB, so be sparing with the increments.
Also, ensure that the AREV rollout path and the temporary sort file path is not in a root directory - there's a limit on the number of files that can be placed in the root directory under Win 95.
