AREV Specific

Hi,
 I was wondering with all of the new technology, i.e. faster cpu's
and the like, will AREV ever NOT run on a very fast machine?
 Foxpro, for instance had problems running on machines faster than
333Mhz, but a patch was provided.

Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks,

Scott Kapaona

Not having any difficulty whatsoever now that we have addressed

a particular expanded memmory issue.

It's not the fast machines that you have to worry about but the operating systems and the network systems. Our shop is running AREV 3.12 on a NT network. In the last few years we have run into a few situations where we couldn't upgrade to newer versions of software or network versions due to the limitations of AREV. We seem to be increasingly running into software packages that adversly effect our AREV applications in one way or another.

The thing is that when AREV was created, some of the tools, applications and operating systems weren't even concieved yet. So there was no way for the makers to anticapate the coming changes and code for them. That and the fact that Revelation is no longer supporting AREV.

If you want to stay with AREV, you may want to look on this site for Open Insight or whatever is the current AREV based, windows based operating system. I haven't kept up with that side of things because it doesn't envolve me.

I hope this is of some small help.

I am glad to see you write that. Is there any new information on the Windows 2000/NLM issue or are we still sitting at the seven month old statements on the page referred from the main page? If Novell does nothing to improve the clients handling of the way the NLM uses IPX is there any chance of a change in the way the NLM uses IPX?

Tom-

There's still an incident with Novell. The issue got better with the newest Novell client (4.8) but not good enough yet.

We work on this one constantly- we've tried hundreds (literally) of combinations and permutations of settings- it just looks like either a thunk or Server location issue.

As soon as we get good results we'll post them.

Thanks-
