Not true. I have it on several networks, one that has 8 remote printers, each with about 7 people sharing them. Both Netware 3.11 and 3.12. But even for 3.12 I'm using NETX instead of VLM, as friends have reported problems under windows with VLMs when doing rprinter (which I use mainly for the many customized DOS engineering and accounting apps. I use Rprinter under both win 3.1 and win3.11 with Netware without any problems whatsoever. The clients spend about 80% of their time in Windows but go to DOS programs (usually within Windows) while the mem-hungry autocad type programs if not Windows-based are run outside of Windows. Get the latest Netware rprinter/pserver files etc. - A -- ,------------------------------------------------------------------------, | Andrys Basten <andrys@netcom.com> | Certified Netware Engineer | | Have Early Music, Will Travel | Basten Micro Consulting | | Harpsichord, recorders | Berkeley/SF, CA 510-235-3861 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
