RE: BPCS Client Server and MS Win NT Workstation

Are the programs you are having window max/minimizing the CEA/COM windows,
or the "Second Generation" (AKA screen scraper or Thin Client) GUI screens?

|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 ?
