LOL. I would also like to know what error. I know it is Error 97 but what kind of
issue is causing this Error 97

I cannot find any documentation on this error anywhere. Maybe Mac or Blueberry or
whatever

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
E:\>net helpmsg 97
97 is not a valid Windows network message number.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3871.

E:\>set /a c = 0x97
151
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

The number of specified semaphore events for DosMuxSemWait is not correct.

</cmd_output>

Maybe hex instead of decimal? ; )

So where can we buy some extra semaphore events? Will Microsoft ship them to us?

Free from MSDN/TechNet but you'll have to supply the handles to put them
on...or the line to hang them from, as the case may be.

Just ping Sinofsky, he'll send them to you via Venutian mind-meld, assuming
he remembers to remove his tin foil beany.
