Hi,
I've tested several things, but still didn't get any further.
Installed Relevos, that didn't make any difference. Installing the
pervasive on another server didn't have any effect also.
After installing TAME-DOS, same problem, only difference with tame-dos, if
you press "ignore" 4 times at the error window (NTVDM-error), the app starts
and seems to function properly. Nevertheless there are still 2 problems, the
dos-app cannot go into "full screen" mode and printing seems also to be a
problem in this envirmont.
Running dos-apps in terminal services doesn't seem to be a peace of cake.
(the problem is that this specific setup, 2 servers and clientcomputers were
specially setup/bought for this purpose, the app was not tested because the
app has been tested in a million combinations and on any posible and
different platform, the app has never given a crimp, that was the only thing
that functioned perfectly in all these different circomstances)
My hopes have sunc to the bottom of the ocean,
If you have any taughts about this, don't hesitate to give any comment,
Regards,
Jo Lambrecht
