Re: PDOX 4.5 PRINT FILE LPT3 "not enough disk space"

in general, the 2 gig problem went away with Win98 OSR2, which is the common
version used.. Mike is suggesting that your problem might your non-standard
"fix", which we know nothing about.. I also suggestd that your command line
might be "different", too..

Steve,

As I mentioned before, the workstations used with this application have
been primarily running Win98, and therefore require 2GBFix (or
LessSpace). Are you saying this is not necessary for Pdox 4.5 under
XP? If this is true, simply eliminating 2GBfix may resolve the
problem...

LessSpace was required to run PdoxDOS 4.x on the large drives of the day,
in
the late 90's, on Win95/98.. but nobody has needed that on "modern"
machines
and OS in almost a decade.. that leads me to believe that you're not
running
a proper command line.. see the 4xGuide file on my web site..

I have a multi-user Paradox 4.5 application running very well on a
mixed Win98 and XP network. I'm using 2GBFIX to sucessfully run on
large drives. However, the XP stations will very occasionally report
"Not enough disk space...10 more bytes needed" when executing this
line:

PRINT FILE "LPT3" "my text here..."

LPT3 is used to access a network printer that is mapped by:

NET USE LPT3 \\myXPprintserver\myprinter /yes

It appears that PRINT FILE is sometimes misinterpreting the "disk
space" available on LPT3, and that 2GBFix is not intercepting this
process. PRINT FILE always works fine with "real" files. The problem
is just with LPT3 from XP workstations. Any suggestions?
