Gunnar,
 
Thank you for your advice - where can I find the html doc?  I have emailed support to obtain the latest installer but still am having problems in getting 4.5++ to run under XP Pro (the only network connection is an occasional one to the old computer to drag info across to the new computer.
 
I need to get 4.5++ running under XP Pro as the old laptop is having serious screen problems.

Hi from Sweden

No need to tear of your hair. I have now used XP for sometime running win and dos 6.5++ and oldfashion 2.11 and 4.0.

Step Nr 1 read about files and buffers and path in the html doc � User Reference and Running R:Base for dos on windows 2000 and forget your config.rmd and autoexec.rmd

I myself has the standard path set c:\rbti\\rbdos65 and I use  a simple dos-batch file to change when I run the other versions.

For installing 6.5++ dos you can either get special install for XP from R:DCC, since the orginal does not work on XP or just copy from your old computer. But to get ODBC working you should get the new installer.

 

(Then what I also did is in my network stick to TCPIP only and got rid of netbios and netware, before I did that I hade problem with network access and fileattributes, this part howver is my own experiments not confirmed by Rbase or Bill Gates ) ( An other not conformed problem I experienced on XP is that old version like 2.11 behaves better with a new install of XP rather then an upgrade I will not try to resolve this problem in any other way than to convert all old version to 7.0)

 

Good luck and be happy that you are on the sunny side of the earth right now. But in 5 months from the spring will be here again
