Well let's try that again. The last try resulted in a null message. Just when you think your beginning to understand windows a new problems crops up and kills things. The problem is we just got some new Zenith 386sx machines with Zenith DOS 4.01 and 40Meg hard disks, 4 meg of Memory and Logitec serial mice on com2: (I told windows they were MS mice). These machine share an HP Laserjet printer on a LAN-Spool system that makes it look like a serial printer so they use COM1 and redirect LPT1 to COM1 with the now famous lines MODE COM1:9600,n,8,1,p MODE LPT1:=COM1 This trick works just fine under DOS and for most things under windows but we got bit when using TELNET form Clarkson and the Pass thru printing options from or VMS host. It give a message "Sharing Violation ..." Our short term fix was to just repartition all the harddisks to <32meg per partition. I didn't see anything like this in the FAQ file so hopefully someone knows a more elegant solution. If not I may have to spend some time on the phone to Microsoft.... Thanks for any info in advance.

This is required in dos 4.0 when you have partitions larger than 32 meg. -- Willaim Julien | julien@wsc-sun.boeing.com | Grin and Boeing Computer Services | julien%wsc-sun@atc.boeing.com | ignore (206) 865-5047 | uw-beaver!bcsaic!wsc-sun!julien | it #include <Standard discaimer>
