Novell 3.11 Migration...
I'm migration an old Novell 3.11 Server to WIndows NT, and I'm having a couple of problems putting the old MS-DOS Applications working the way they did on Novell.
One of the problems is a small text editing tools that used to print to Novell's print queues, on mapped printer ports (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3). Now that I put it to work under MS Network (I'm using 'net use LPT1' to map ports), it simply doesn't print. It works like it is printing, but it does nothing. What can that be?
The other problem I have, with that same application and with another one, is that, although they worked fine on Novell with 8 users, on NT, when I try to use the program from 2 Workstations at the same time, I keep getting Sharing Violation messages. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks...

Did you have setup the printers with the print for DOS applications on... in the properties for the printers you find this.

Do you have share.exe loaded on the DOS/lanmanager clients?
ASKER
As for the printing, it does not print, even when I quit the application. I have another client where that happens, although I don't know why.
I'll try the Read permission on the share.
As for the share.exe, I've already tryed to load it, without any results.
