AREV Specific

In the process of porting an existing AREV 2.1 app from Win98/NT clients to Windows 2000 client. The twist is that AREV has a Btrieve Bond installed and thus a Btrieve memory extender (DOS/4G) and TSR is loaded before AREV.EXE is started. Everything seems to run, except unable to break to debugger by pressing Ctrl+Pause Break keys! Nothing happens, programs continue to run. (The programs are compiled to break if needed.)

Here are some details:

CONFIG.NT additions:

FILES=200

EMM =

BATCH file to start AREV:

@ECHO OFF

H:

CD\

ECHO Loading Btrieve . . .

SET DOS16M=:1M

CD\BTR6

BTRIEVE

CD\ADVREV

LOGO-SD DOS logon screen

AREV BTRV /S /X /M4096

ECHO Removing Btrieve . . .

CD\BTR6

BUTIL -STOP

When AREV comes up, Expanded Memory is Active.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does Alt-S enable the debugger? We recall this working around version 2.12. Sounds like DOS/4G traps the break codes, which upset the Btrieve software.
