Should be no problem. We are running 5.5++ DOS under W2k without any issues. Just create a .CMD file that sets the PATH to include the directory where R:Base is installed and then run rbase.exe. And you'll have to open a DOS window and do a NET USE LPT1 for their printer (just once), or include this in the CMD file that runs R:Base.
Hi all,
I have a client using R:Base 6.1a DOS (32-bit), U.S. Version, Build 6.1axRT01 on Windows 98 to use an R:Base application written years ago. I am in the process of a complete re-write of the application in R:Base for Windows but it is not quite ready yet and her Windows 98 is beginning to have problems (crashing in the late mornings and afternoons) and the IT staff want to move to Windows 2000.
From your experiences, are there likely to be any issues with the NT operating system and R:Base for DOS with regards to printers or other areas? Are the issues resolvable or should they tuff it out with 98 for another month or two until the Windows R:Base program is ready to go?
Thanks for the input! Michael
