RE: BPCS Client Server and MS Win NT Workstation

Configuration: 
 As/400 V4R2
 BPCS 6.0.02 PLF March CUM 98  (FULL CLIENT/SERVER)
 100+ client workstations (windows 95, windows 98 and few NT workstations)


 We've experienced problems with the client on both Windows 95 and Windows
98 but the most painful are coming from Windows 98. For example, you can't
maximize a window under Windows 98 without causing a crash while this is
behaving correctly on Windows 95. (It is ok to maximize a pane inside the
main window but not the main window itself). 

 Also, there are problems with specific versions of Winsock.DLL (for example
the one that FrontPage 97 insists on installing). As well known problems
exist for the Microsoft C++ run time DLL (MSVCRT40.DLL) the proper version
to use is the one that has size 326,656 - version 4.10.6038 - an invalid
version can cause problem with some DFS applications including account
inquiry. These problems seem to show up in all versions of Windows but it
seems to me that Windows 95 is their most stable platform so far. I take it
a lot of these problems are avoided in mixed-mode environment.

We have seen some memory location conflicts when using BPCS client server on
Windows NT workstations. This was not happening at all on the Workstations
loaded with Windows 95 or 98.

Does BPCS Client Server run best on a Microsoft Windows 95 operating system
or Microsoft Window NT Workstation operating system?

What has been your experience with either operating system ?
