Subj: MS-DOS 6 & No*STOP Programming Support
To: All
From: Fred Tims 76557,3724
No*STOP NETWORK provides server mirroring on any network. If a server
fails, users can continue working on the remaining server with no
interruption and no loss of data. We have completed our first round of
validation testing for MS-DOS 6.0, with the following results:
***************************************************************************
MS-DOS 6.0 - When running WINDOWS (3.1 or WFW) under DOS 6.0,
your workstation may hang if you exit WINDOWS directly
after a server has failed. DOS 6 passed all of the other
tests in our validation suite with flying colors. Stay tuned.
Update: We have found that the Novell patches in DOSUP7 and
WINUP7 make the situation worse - the workstation hangs
immediately after downing the server.
Update: One of our validation tests hangs, EVEN UNMIRRORED,
when DBLSPACE is active. The test is a COBOL program running
on LANTASTIC 5.0. The error message is:
"PSLINEHF segment RT: Error 198 @ COBOL PC086D"
The test runs perfectly, mirrored or unmirrored, when
DBLSPACE is not active. It also runs perfectly on a standalone
PC, with no network software loaded.

***************************************************************************
This information is now included in the README.DOC file on our
distribution diskette. We are posting it in various BBSs which
are currently dealing with the problems in MS-DOS 6.0. Perhaps
it will provide useful information to others who are dealing with
MS-DOS 6.0 problems.
We would appreciate any helpful comments concerning workarounds,
patches or option settings which might alleviate the problems.
Best regards to all,
Fred Tims
