Hi All

One of my workmates has just installed OS/2 Warp, and wants to 
run the arcserve 5.01e manager software from within OS/2. To do this
she needs a BRequester for OS/2.

Anyone got one? Is anyone doing this?

Thanx in advance

Brenden

Brenden,

That'd be btrcalls.dll and ndbcomm.dll.  They are distributed
with NetWare.

I don't think that will work. Arcserve 5.01e only comes with a Windows client.
Therefore you would have to run the DOS Brequest in the Virtual Dos session
that Windows uses to start.

However, all this is moot. Arcserve 5.0 specifically states in one of the
release notes that it won't run under WIN-OS/2. It seems to be something with
the Netware Requester not allowing them to use IPX/SPX calls from WIN-OS/2. I
believe this has changed with the lastest 2.11 requester but Cheyenne hasn't
updated ARCServe Manager yet.

TTYL,

Seems to work fine for me...Running WARP and Novell Requestor 2.11, I 
have had no trouble with the Windows Arc Manager...

I have been able to create, submit and monitor jobs, ans well as use all 
the reporting features by running the DOS version of BREQUEST in a 
WINSTART.BAT file that I have WIN/OS2 use as the session autoexec.bat.
