I have recently obtained Borland's PARADOX 3.0, however I am having
trouble getting it to work the way I want.
We are running the Sun Microsystems PC-NFS product v 3.0.1.
Initially my problem was that I installed PARADOX onto a network drive,
but I installed it as a single user rather than network version.
Everytime I attempted to run it it complained that the location for
PARADOX.NET had not been specified. Foiled...
Next I installed it as a network version, I specified that the network
type was 7 (Other) and that the PARADOX.NET file was on my H:\ drive.
PARADOX was installed on my K:\ drive to which I have read/write rights.
It now seems to work OK.
Next I changed K:\ so it was read-only as we have bought 6 lan packs and
according to the manual the PARADOX Directory can be Read only. Now when
I start up PARADOX it says "Loading...", "User 1 of 31..." and then seems
to give up. The PC-NFS activity BLIP flickers about every 1/2-1 sec. but
no further progress is made. Reboot time...
Has anyone successfully installed PARADOX on a PC-NFS based network? And
if you have what was needed to get it to work? I know PC-NFS is not one
of the supported networks but we have had reasonable success with many
other network applications so I thought it was worth trying.
Any hints would be appreciated....
