As promised ….
We have now upgraded a client from NT Service 1.x to 1.5.
Trap No 1:-
Remove the REVPARAM file before running FIXVOL.exe
- wierd error messages before we experimented by removing this
file. Installation instructions for upgrade inadequate from this
perspective.
We find that after upgrade the system is much more stable.
Running NT Server V4.0 Service pack 3 on a single processor
Pentium 266 with 128 Mb RAM and 25 user AREV license.
N.B. DIGITAL Server not a clone!!!!!
High transaction levels with good preformance.
Noteworthy:-
Using RAID 5 with hardware controller of high quality.
More than satisfactory write performance and excellent reads.
Hope this helps.

Kevin,
I would expect this to fail, because it directly reads and writes to the lh files without talking to the NT service, unfortunately it also reads the REVPARAM file, so we probably should have that in the instructions. I'll see what I can do to have this added to the readme file.
Glad you are pleased with 1.5
