1294.0. "W95 and PW 1.0 ? How to make it run?" by chsr38.ch.oracle.com::ROHR (The Packers did it!) Thu Jan 30 1997 10:16

    I have a customer with Windows 95, pathworks 5 and on the client
    Pathworks 1.0 (not A as he does not have a server V6).
    
    He claims that he got a fix from a collegue (who is on holiday now),
    that let him use Odbc 2.0.20 in that environment. Now, 2.0.20 has a
    prerequisiste of 1.0A with patch, and I wonder if anyone can imagine
    what else than PWSOCK32.DLL from that kit could have made that miracle
    and let it work on PW 1.0. 
    
    He wants to spread this to more PC's and can't seem to get it running
    again. He won't upgrade Pathworks because that means big license bucks
    for him. 
    
    Thanks,
    Regina

Hi Regina,

We had nothing but problems with PW 1.0.  We were never able to get this to 
work.  We were only able to work with Pathworks 1.0A plus a patch (which was 
a new PWSOCK32.DLL).  From what I hear, your customer is asking for big 
trouble trying to use PW 1.0 on Windows 95.
