If you load the DOS requestor, you'll be able to use Btrieve from apps that operate from DOS boxes, but not native windows apps. Btrieve for DOS uses an interrupt protocol that is not available to Windows apps. To use Btrieve with Windows apps, you have to obtain the Btrieve for Windows kit from Novell. In this kit you get the Btrieve DLL and assorted configuration programs. The Btrieve engine for Windows is closer to multi-user Btrieve than it is to single-user DOS Btrieve. I can't recall the exact price, but I believe is was around $300US. -- Martin R.
