- Subject: WinQVT Problems Solved
- Lines: 92
-
- A couple of weeks ago I described a new problem I was having with
- WinQVT 3.16 and an ongoing "glitch" carried over from 3.03. Both
- have now been resolved.
-
- Re-iterating, in addition to WinQVT, I'm also running PC/TCP, so am
- using PKTMUX to allow the 2 to co-exist.
-
-
- Now the problems:
-
- 1. When WinQVT is invoked from Windows, before the console comes up,
- the following Windows message box appears:
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- | WNQVTNET |
- | |
- | An error has occurred in your application. |
- | If you choose to Ignore, you should save your work in a new file. |
- | If you choose Close, your application will terminate. |
- | |
- | |
- | Close Ignore |
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If the "Ignore" button is chosen, the application "appears" to start
- normally, and the CONSOLE comes up, followed by the auto_start
- sessions.
-
- If the "Close" button is picked, the application produces the
- following:
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- | Application Error |
- | |
- | WNQVTNET caused a General Protection Fault in |
- | module WNNETDLL.DLL at 0001.8B8D. |
- | |
- | |
- | Close |
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- THE SOLUTION:
- -------------
- PKTMUX documentation describes how to set up your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- for various situations. The section on "Windows 3 Applications"
- describes how mine SHOULD HAVE BEEN set up. My order was DIFFERENT.
- The CORRECT order follows:
-
- IBMTOKEN 0x60 ;load packet driver
- PKTMUX 2 ;support 2 channels
- PKTDRV ;PKTDRV for PC/TCP to use
- PKTDRV 7F ;PKTDRV for WinQVT to use
- PKTINT ;WinQVT Packet interface
-
- Note that QVTNET.INI file has "packet_vector=7F".
-
-
- 2. A second problem which was present in release 3.03 and continued in
- 3.16.
-
- If the CONSOLE is closed to return to Windows, WinQVT cannot be
- successfully re-entered later. The CONSOLE comes up ok, but each
- of the sessions being "auto_start'd" produces a message indicating:
-
- "Local host or gateway not responding"
-
- Trying to restart sessions manually, via the TERMINAL option on the
- console produces the same result.
-
- THE SOLUTION:
- -------------
- Thanks to Edwin Clubb (egclubb@ucdavis.edu) who pointed out this was
- a bug in PKTMUX and that PKTMUX 1.2 fixes it. I down-loaded PKTMUX
- 1.2 from FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU and installed it - NO MORE PROBLEM!
-
- If you retrieve PKTMUX 1.2 from Indiana:
-
- a) Its in the PUB\PC\WIN3\UTIL directory as PKTMUX12.EXE.
- b) Its a ZIP file, NOT an EXE file.
- c) I used the 3 EXE's present (PKTMUX, PKTDRV and PKTSTATS).
- Each is 40-50% larger than previous versions.
-
- Hope this helps someone else!
