I'm running AREV 3.0 on a Novell 3.2 network. I'm running a NLM 1.5 patch. Performance on the local station Win 95 and 98 is good. However, when I run arev on a local NT station, the processing speed goes down dramatically.

Suggestions or insights on why?

It's just NT being NT.

Try running the FORCEDOS command (for a minor improvement)

FORCEDOS /D N:\AREV N:\AREV\AREV.EXE

This removes the OS/2 subsystem and treats the workstation as a more DOS-like entity.

Or try use a pif, and set foreground and background tasks equal.

Use lots of RAM (64kB+). Load Service pack 3.

Use a fast CPU.

Check out the Microsoft website http://www.support.microsoft.com for tips and details.

Rest assured that slow PCs are the way of the future. In two years' time you'll only be able to get PCs with Windows 2000 (=NT 5.0)

This is as slow as DOS 2.1 on a IBM PC

This is what Microsoft deems progress.

This doesn't help. but at least now you know. NT stands for Neanderthal technology.

Email me for the exact Microsoft articles to search for to tune the workstation settings

Provided Microsoft can get Windows 2000 released in the next two years
