Networking Products

Hello all:

I have a site that is receiving messages such as:

"Error opening or reading from .INI File AREVC.INI"

"Error writing to DOS file AREVC.INI"

"B527} Your DOS path for temporary files is invalid. Please check environment setting."

"r563988.VF2 is not available for the view window"

The environment is 3 NT workstations using the NPP and bumped to 6 users. The 'server' (this is a peer-to-peer setup) runs fine, the 'remote' stations receive the error messages. The server is mapped to drive C:, the remotes are mapped to drive B:.

I have left "Rollout DOS filename" and "DOS path for temporary files" in the AREVC.INI file blank.

Any suggestions out there?

TIA,

Mike O.

You might also try increasing the environment size.

I have seen something similiar with win2k and what I found was that the string in the set environment variables ala set arev=xxxx.xxx was truncated to only two places past the point. I think if I remember correctly I either renamed the arevc.ini file to arevc.in or something along those lines…..

Another way to effectively increase the environment under NT is to set a default environment setting.

SET DUMMY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Then as the first line of your batch file to call AREV

SET DUMMY=

This frees up more space than would otherwise be offered. There are some problems with environment expansion under NT 4.0.

I had found that the problem acted differently each time using a batch file to set arev. Using Steve Smith's example of setting a dummy string in AUTOEXEC.NT and then setting it to null prior to setting AREC.INI in my batch file worked just fine…..

Thanks
