I didn't threw away my responsibility. Saying "everything" mean "the everything in the app I plan to use under dosbox emulation". I didn't meant "the everything in dosbox itself". Sorry for the ambiguity. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to rebuild it as native linux executable. But, yet only my dreams.

You're right. I should take into consideration your advice about serious testing before apply this solution into production environment. I have another thought about recompiling this app into native linux executable... I've got Valkyrie. I'm only not sure about a correctness of decompiling process. …

Another question about Valkyrie... Are you running it inside dosbox? I've got error with decompilation trying run it in WinXP cmd-shell. P.S. It was my mistake. Just don't give file's extention to V.EXE and viola. 😀

Ok, but I run 2 instances of dosbox and run the same AD2 inside each of them. So, I have 2 running instances of the same AD2 in 2 different instances of dosbox. Changes made in one instance are immediately visible in another. So, I think allright and that is what I needed. What kind of sharing do …

Thank you very much again. With that settings you advised to me it runs much more flawlessly. Now, I can talk with my boss about buying expensive hardware for M$ Windows(tm) Terminal Server(tm) with Server itself and Windows(tm) Licenses for workplaces of our db operators. It would be foolish to …

And you probably guess there are no sources there.

ripsaw8080, you made my day!!! :sweatdrop: Thanks a lot to you, changing 0x00h --> 0x46h made it work. I dunno why it works in WinXP and in PC-DOS without this patching... In my CONFIG.NT: SET CLIPPER=F100 SET FILES=100 Our girls use boot-floppies with PC-DOS version 7 Revision 0. I don't realize …

Surely. That's what I told about to be allowed. The key file for it to run properly is INSTALL.MEM The folder "C:\AD2\" in settings should be set to actual folder for program to function properly. Otherwise, it will not find it's working set files. Also, CLIPPER=F100 is mandatory.

So, no solution?

Maybe, would it be better if I will give the archive with this app to you for a review? It's less than 1Mb in size. Just now I've played with FILES's value on my WinXP-workstation. Seems that setting FILES=50 in system32\config.NT is enough to run and use this app. Simply I try to find what is …

A printing isn't an issue in this case. Empirical way shows that it's enough to set FILES=13 (!) in CONFIG.NT to run this app in WinXP. To say more, I didn't set CLIPPER variable at all, despite of this that program run and functions (edit: sure, it runs, but some functions fail - so, FILES=13 isn't …

I guess that. CLIPPER=F100 is because that works in Netware clients and in WinXP. Sure, I have had played with "set FILES" and "set CLIPPER", changed DOS_FILES in the sources. Posting in the forum is the last thing I did after all tries. Maybe, I missed something? I think the problem is in a …

Sure. I can send you 7zip-packed archive for testing purposes. It is working db. The archive size with empty db is 773,125 bytes. It's better to see once than hear a lot. Now, we have that config: Netware 4.11 file-server --> PC-DOS clients on 1.44-floppies with Netware Client --> database app on …

Hello all. I hope there is a chance to run some clipper's stuff there. It's old database app written in clipper. It built using some blinker 8.x version, clipper's version is Summer'87. I found this info inside exe-file. What I did: core=normal built dosbox with #define DOS_FILES 250 set clipper= …
