Hello All!

I'm a network user and have created some software that takes existing print files and passes them to a print queue. The IT folks want to take away this capacity. Apparently it's "an old dos program"
that they don't want to keep.

I've asked them about what may be used as a replacement but not getting any help.

Is there something that replaces this older version of queues? We're using netware 6.5 the client is 4.91 and that's about all I know.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Jim

Is this a news group or some docs someplace?

What exactly is the 'what' that they don't want to support? The DOS
application or queues?

So can you not convert it into a Windows application that uses queues? <g>

Ok, I'll try again. Netware used to have some sort of DOS application that it used to manage queues. My IT folks no longer want to support that Netware DOS application. I only know what they tell
me, which is generally nothing.

They want to pull the plug on the Netware DOS application that makes queues available. If they do that my application breaks. They are offering no help at all in resolving the issue other than
saying there are Novell support newsgroups....

My belief is that Novell wouldn't totally quit support of queues and there must be something in Netware 6.5 that provides the same functionality. That's what I'm trying to track down... Can you
help?!

Hi Peter,

They don't want to support the DOS application the allows the use of queues. I don't know anything about the network side. I just need to keep the app running.

If you mean Pconsole, that only worked with IPX, the best thing you can
try to get now is http://www.andtechnologies.com/qcontrol.html

Well, if they have NDPS,. Then they can have that support the queue.

Ok, this is VERY different from your original message of " ... and have

created some software that takes existing print files and passes them to a

print queue.". Novell's DOS applications that manages queues was
PCONSOLE.EXE but you can do the same using NWAdmin32, a 32-bit Windows
application.
