We have an old dos (State) program running on our servers. We have been able to get our Dell GX150’s running Win2000 professional to run this program, using the following .bat file However, it hangs up with a black screen when attempting to run on a latitude 3500 laptop running 2000 prof.
echo off
cls
getmem
if errorlevel 1 goto nomem
goto menu
:nomem
echo Insufficient memory to run OSIRIS
dispmem
echo Memory required: 524400
pause
goto end
Rem Execute Osiris normally.
:menu
echo Loading Osiris…
btrieve /m:40 /p:4096 /t:osiris.trn /e /f:40 /n:18
osprog
if exist nextprog.bat nextprog
:end
These are the directions we use to setup the shortcut.
To run Osiris on a Windows 2000 PC:
Simply copy the 2000.bat file into the (Server) Osiris folder. Then create a shortcut on the desktop. The user will need to have the 2000.bat in their profile(not osiris.bat). When the user clicks on the shortcut they will get a sysparm prompt: simply type go (must be lower case)and press enter-the Osiris logon screen should then display.”
On a 3500 latitude laptop running 2000 professional, I get the sysparm, but after I type “go” I get a black screen. Any ideas of what is happening? Thanks for your help.
