PCNFS Problems with Dos software

2007-12-25 8:41:00

My problem is solved thanks to many of the suggestions from this group. THe

problem ended up being some kind of incompatibility with the DOS software

TRACKER and DOS 3.3 although the TRACKER documentation indicates that DOS 3.3

is a supported version. I upgraded to DOS 5.0 and the software worked fine.

THe suggestions that were made by this group include upgrading to DOS 5.0 and

upgrading to PCNFS 5.0. The other thing that was mentioned was to increase

the number of open files in PCNFS as follows:

DEVICE=C:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS /f100

This did not help the situation at all but upgrading DOS did.

Thanks so much for your help. My original post follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WE are running PCNFS V3.5. We received this software called Tracker from

a company called O'Neill that we are trying to get working on a PC running

DOS 3.0. When trying to run the application and browse an entry in the

database we receive a DOS ERROR 4 message which indicate too many file handles

or too many files open. The vendor indicated we should increase the FILES=

parameter in our CONFIG.SYS file to 200 which I did with no change in the

results. The vendor is unable to give us any other ideas of how to get this

software working. They blame the problems on PCNFS. The TRACKER software

as well as the database itself reside on a Sun and are NFS mounted on the PC.

Has anyone out there tried this software with PCNFS? DOes anyone know if

PCNFS traps the file handles somewhere else? Any ideas to help me solve this

problem?
