Re: Btrieve over TCP/IP on DOS workstations

Yes, I believe the requestor was called BREQNT or something similar.  I 
can't remember the specifics but for some reason the Netware DOS client's 
TCP/IP was not compatible with Netware Btrieve.

I know almost nothing about Linux but I've been wanting to look into it. 
Can you use DOS clients and Btrieve on Linux?  I've been thinking that 
Pervasive SQL on Linux would be strictly SQL -- no transactional access. 
If 
I'm wrong on that, maybe BREQNT will work if the Linux DOS client drivers 
sup****t TCP/IP.

From Netware 4 on I think Btrieve can handle both protocols at the same 
time.  I am not positive because I can't remember using both at the same 
time but I know it sup****ts both separately.  On Netware it's always been 
the same.  There is the Btrieve NLM with sup****ting NLMs and running on
top 
of that their SQL NLMs.
