In list.exe, to get hex display use alt-H, then you can hit F1 to get 3 different hex display formats. Brgds Jock

I use list.exe from the Windows server 2003 resource kit for the purpose of reading/dumping files. It has hex dump and search capabilities and is small and quick. The resource kit is free and also contains a number of other very useful utilities. Details and download here...

Needless to say, this should not happen, so I hope you have the data on that volume backed up. You have to run vrepair.nlm on the server console. I don't recommend doing this when the server is in use as it is resource intensive. Also dismount VOL1 and VOL3 to free up their resources. At the...

Hi Rock4J Congrats on sorting your problem. Sorry I didn't see your post sooner as I have indeed gone thru exactly the same thing (except for the computer name bit) and my solution was the same as yours. I don't really understand why XP mode doesn't just default to the actual adapter in the...

dBase III runs fine under 32 bit Win 7. Being a 16 bit app, it will not run in a Win 7 64 bit CMD window. In that case, and assuming you have Win 7 pro, then install XP mode, which is Win XP running in a VM, and put your 16 bit apps in there. You can then set them up as shortcuts on the Win 7...

You've probably seen this, but this MS article seems quite comprehensive: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst It specifically mentions mixed exchange and outlook environments. No personal experience with this issue however. Jock

Oops - prev post should have read "see FOR /? for details". Need more coffee ... Jock

Hi Ed In a batch file, %G must be coded %%G. See DO /? for details. Jock

Rule 1 of data recovery is not to work on your current file. Work on copies in another folder - then it doesn't matter if you write to them inadvertently. Alex Nolan makes a good freeware utility called DBF Viewer Plus. It is straightforward to use and portable...

Your mem /c output looks much like what I get from an XP box here, except: - You have a TSR PRN2FILE resident which I don't (likely used for DOS printing) - Yours shows a lot of memory (Extended and XMS) available. Mine is under 2 meg for both. Some DOS programs can't deal with too much memory...

Hi Hardyone I also maintain a bunch of legacy clipper apps (Summer '87, 5.x) and have migrated them to newer hardware successfully. Here are my personal opinions on your questions (others may disagree): 1. Neither 32 or 64 bit Win 7 is "standard", but 64 is more commonly used. The big...

Even back in the day, 3.x had excellent raid support and I can attest from personal experience to how well SFT worked. The sad thing is whoever installed that server chose not to use it, put everything on the SYS volume, didn't put essential tools in the boot partition and on and on. Likely...

Hi 52chev Yes, I'm afraid that's all she wrote. It looks like the partition table on that drive is messed up. It's up to you if you want to let it try and reinit the partition table, but almost for sure that will result in the loss of the Netware partition. I would only try that on a cloned...

That means IDE.DSK was already loaded, it is probably defined in the .NCF file in the DOS partition, so we didn't accomplish anything there. Loading vrepair from the floppy should be no different than loading from C: OK, as our one last shot at this, I am going to email you install.nlm (it...

While researching/refreshing stale synapses, I did locate the old repository of Novell 3.x patches and modules. They can still be found via the Novell patch finder: http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/ In case it may help others in the future (or myself). Jock
