Thanks Sami
This did the trick. We are going to order 6.5++ Dos and go with it until
I get some time down the road to convert all of our Db's over to
windows. Right now there a ton of command that depend on the dos style
of programming that my boss did YEARS ago...
We already have 6.5 Win and about to get 6.5++ as well.. Nearly all the
ones that are Win2k don't do any processing at the moment. Will test out
some of these soon in Win2k.. Thanks for the heads up..
Again, Thanks
Jim Limburg
