Many thanks TonHu. The Novell routines were part of the Clipper Toolbox. Has anyone updated these for NDS? if so can you let me know where I can get them from. I'll send your response to Germany and see if they can answer the Novell version question.
Is there anyone using Clipper apps on Novell networks printing to Novell printer queues and from XP clients ? Are you using the Novell client windows or the Miscrsoft client service for netware ? I have a contact in Germany needing support for an old Clipper app ( 5.2e ADS, Novell, Blinker...
Thanks Bozz.
The mode command does change the character display, but not to the character I want. I've look at the documentation for Mode Con on the internet and it all seems to be a bit of hit and miss as to which character set to use.
The symbol most commly used is a small tick in a box. This appears correctly in full screen mode, but in a window comes up as ¦Ì?when the box is un-ticked and ¦Ï?when the box is ticked. from the code it looks like the following CHr() are used. Chr(221), Chr(12), Chr(222), Chr(216)

My application runs on both W2K and XP clients. When in full screen mode the graphics characters appear correctly. However, pressing Alt-Enter to get it into a window the characters appear differently. Does anyone know how to fix this
Some suggestions
Upgrade to clipper 5.2e.
Use blinker 6 or higher.
Never use the Reindex command. Always rebuild the index from scratch
Check the Opportunistic locking settings on the server. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q219/0/22.ASP
Use a product like Advantage Database...
Have a look at what is available from MS "Services for Netware" - it may solve your problem. I am using it as our app spools much faster to Netware printers, and I don't have to remove the Netware functions that were built into the code.
Hi
MS has a package called "Service for Netware". V4 for NT, v5 for 2K - costs about 140 US$. It provides the IPX protocol for the MS servers, and lets you use both IP & IPX. It can also create dummy novell print queues on the MS server so that any code using Nantucket toolbox Novell...
File & Print Services is part of Services for Netware. It now comes as a seperate package and is available from your Microsoft dealer. The latest version 5 is for W2k server and includes v4 for NT.
Hi Futuretech204
Are you an expert with File & Print services fro Netware. I have just purchased v5 and need help insetting up printers.

A long shot - try Netowrk & dial up connections, right click, properties. Services for Netware should appear in the protocol list, and you should be able to uninstall from there.
I use NET USE on Wk2 all the time with no problems.
To switch printers I write a batch file to the C drive
then SwpRunCmd to run the batch file.
By using "set device to print" and "@ say...." the print job spools perfectly.
Is anyone using ADS on a W2K or NT4 server but using the MS-NWlink compatable protocol ?
I have recently moved from Novell to W2K and am using AdsDosIP and the AxIpbdom library. The app runs about 10% slower than on Novell. I am told by Advantage that by installing the NWlink protocol, and...
Does anyone have the source code for the DBX utility or know where I can get it ?
I have recently migrated from Novell to W2K and the DBX I have only uses the Novell IPX protocol. I need to use the TCI/IP protocol.
I use Clipper 5.2e & Blinker 6. I have no problems in compiling on w2k, but I don't use the Append command.
Append should work on w2k, but /e can only be used once after starting the system. Try changing your scripts and link without append.
I send all my Clipper reports to LPT3 on a network with 100's of printers. Before spooling I reset the printer with Net use \\server\printer /p:Y ( or Capture on Netware ) to the correct network printer, so you don't need lpt9,10....
Is your app also taking 100% CPU ? This is often the problem with printing and background jobs. If so, I have a fix for this. If not, try spooling the file to disk, then printing from file.
