Odd. I have Windows for Workgroups clients running on both Windows and
Novell networks, and my understanding is that these would be accepted
by an NT domain.
I think the only reason why the TOrex client would not be able to run
on 16 bit Windows machines would be that it was written in a 32 bit
Windows language, and that it involved system calls not serviced by the
Win 32s components that one can add to the older versions of Windows.
It does rather show NT up compared to real networking OSs like Novell;
Unix; OS/2 though, if it is not possible to run a dumb terminal against
the version running on NT whereas it is against the Unix version.
Perhaps it just wasn't written that way.
Any information on the actual database management system/engine that
Torex have used? It is said to be one widely used in industry
(portable toilet scheduling and building supply ordering for instance I
suppose)
