AREV Specific

I recently switched from Novell 3.11 using DOS to Novell 4.11 using Windows 95. I noticed that my code using the capture statement worked on 3.11 but it took to much memory with 4.11 so I started using the suspend key. I have noticed that occasionally on certain computers they would get a rolout problem about saying that it was not deleted do you wish to delete. My question to make a long story short is can I use the capture statement from 3.11 on a 4.11 machine. I am using Arev 2.12. and Windows 95. Anyone else have the same problem?

Actually I use the following command within an RBasic program
SUSPEND EXIT CAPTURE L=1 P=STOCK NB NFF NT TI=5 
I used to use
 PC EXIT CAPTURE L=1 Q=Q1 NB NFF NT TI=5 
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO?

We use the CAPTURE command with Arev 2.12 and Novell 4.11 (running

Novell in bindery emulation mode) with no problems.

Acutally, we are using an assembly routine written in house that

makes calls to Novell to perform a caputre. Therefore we dont worry about SUSPENDing vs a PC.

Couldn't you always attempt to delete the rollout file before performing the CAPTURE?? Are you sure that you dont have multiple

users pointing to the same rollout file?

I use at a clients site :

PCPERFORM "CAPTURE etc"

That works fine and looks more smoothly because there is less action.

Perhaps is also the following useful :

I have a client that has the following :

Novell server with NLM

Windows NT workstations with MS Client

DOS workstations

At a Windows NT workstation using CAPTURE is sometimes troublesome, using NET USE is fine.

I wrote a utility that looks if the station is a DOS one or a NT one and

handles accordingly.

Good luck,

A couple of options:

(a) Try the 3.1x capture.exe under Novell 4.x

(b) Use my AREV novell capture object at http://www.ozemail.com.au/~stsm

© capture (ahead of using AREV) to lpt1-3 and then use AREV to

switch between lpt1-3

Hope this helps,

Steve
