4091.0. "WINDOWS NT & ACMS" by CHEFS::GALLAGHER_D () Fri Jan 24 1997 13:40

    I wonder if anybody can help me with a query that I received from one
    of our SI partners in the UK.  I have reproduced their question below.
    
    They are stuck for the moment at old versions of software because of
    particular applications and special requirements of this major
    government site.  They are doing their best to sort out a plan to move
    to later versions.
    
    regards and thanks for any help

    ""As you know we currently run a windows 3.1 application which
    interfaces with our VAX (VMS5.5) using ACMS (v3.3) running over DECnet. 

    We build the PC application using ACMS libraries that are downloaded
    from the VAX. 

    We are currently looking at porting our windows 3.1 code onto a PC
    running NT. To build the application, is it just a case of retrieving
    the NT version of the ACMS libraries (contained in logical
    ACMSDI$NT_I86) from the VAX and recompiling? 

    The area that we are unsure about is that the NT libraries may just
    cater for 32 bit applications and so will not work with our 16 bit
    application.""

Thanks for your help,

    
    	You need to ask this question in the ACMS Desktop conference
    	( UCROW::DESKTOP_ACMS ).
