Has anyone had a problem with this configuration:
Netware client 32 version 3.1.0.0
Windows 95 version 4.0 950.C
Revalation NLM 1.5
Netware 4.0
Arev 3.12
A customer reports Arev will not start. A brief flash of stuff, no dots marching…
Input gratefully received

Hi JB,
First - try a copy of the system standalone (local drive) to see if you still get the flash behaviour - use no networks driver - this will eliminate Novell etc..
Sounds like a problem I had a while back on an HP PC (not using Novell) - check the memory properties on the AREV Windows shortcut - let me see -
Total Memory=Auto
Protected=ticked
Initial environment=512
Expanded=4096
Extended=None
Uses HMA=Checked
DPMI=Auto
Run AREV from a batch file.
I recall that I could sometimes get AREV to fire if I called AREV twiec in succession in the batch file. I think it had something to
do with the Expanded memory initialization. Ensure you have a default printer defined.
May be no help to you - take it FWIW,

Service packs 1 and 2 (for the Novell Client 3.1) can cause these symptoms. I am not aware of a work-around, short of removing the client and re-installing the 3.1 client without the service packs.
Also, some Windows 95 machines require forcing the frame type. the 3.1 client seems to aggravate this problem.

I had a similar problem on a client site recently, Running Novell 4.1x on Token ring.
We tried using Novell client 4.51 from the RevSoft site, but it would not allow arev to start. We found that it was the novel client by removing it and using the Microsoft client for Novell and then Arev would start.
In the end the latest version of the novell client had to installed to remove this problem
I would recommend trying withiut the Novell client to see if Arev wil start.
I hope this helps..

Jonathan,
Just a thought, has client tried a Paramfile in Revboot vol setting
ServerOnly=False
I ask this because looks as if NLM is nocking out the Arev system. Also check driver.
Also check for effect of name space/long file names in directories.
