This section discusses the following topics:

Make sure your system has the following:

• NetWare^® 4 or later

  Running Btrieve 6.1x in a NetWare 3.11 or 3.12 environment requires the AFTER311.NLM, which Btrieve loads automatically.

• Adequate memory at the server to load the Btrieve NLM (approximately 528 KB) and the appropriate communications modules

  The memory required for the communications modules varies, depending on the values you specify for the Largest Record Size and Number of Remote Sessions configuration options.

• Adequate memory for the Btrieve Requester at each workstation

  Memory requirements vary, depending on the parameters you specify when you load the requester. Following are the default requester parameters:

  • The DOS Requester requires approximately 29 KB (34 KB for BREQUEST 6.10e).
  • The OS/2 Requester requires approximately 40 KB.
  • The MS Windows Requester requires approximately 30 KB. (To use the MS Windows Requester, you must also have the DOS Requester loaded.)

• BSPXSTUB.MSG---Message file for BSPXSTUB.NLM.
• BSTART.NCF---Batch file executed to start NetWare Btrieve. This file also loads BSPXCOM.NLM and BROUTER.NLM (if NetWare Btrieve is configured to do so).
• BSTOP.NCF---Batch file executed to stop NetWare Btrieve. This file also unloads BSPXCOM.NLM and BROUTER.NLM (if they are loaded).
• BTRIEVE.NLM---NetWare Btrieve Record Manager (database engine).
• BTRIEVE.MSG---Message file for BTRIEVE.NLM.
