Subject: RE: Dbase Linux NT
The
NT version of Minivend works well, I have two stores on a single computer and
have been running for about 6 months without many problems (with the lone
exception of getting that blasted Blat program to work.) As I am not a
Dbase guru I cannot comment on it usefulness across the linux and NT OS's,
however, as long as you have an ODBC driver you will be good. The
basic process is so:
Install an odbc client on the NT machine that uses the Linux
server as its Dbase server,
configure the catalog.cfg file to use it.
Oversimplified I know, however, the real question is whether
or not the dbase server can be set up in a client/server mode and then
accessed through ODBC.

Hello -
I have a client with a LARGE database. Nearly a half a
million entries.
He currently has the database working with Dbase and we're
planning a system for him that will utilize his database with minivend for
an online catalog that will operate in conjunction with his store point of
sale system. Now what I'm wondering is how well the NT version of
Minivend will run? Is it doable??
Also, how hard is it to link
a Linux system with the NT Dbase network that he currently has?? Any
information would be helpful as I am a Linux Newbie. Thanks.
