CONFIG.SYS File
Use any text editor to check the DOS startup file CONFIG.SYS on all the computers running Contract Collector:
- The BUFFERS command should be set to between 30 and 40. IF you are running LANtastic or some other peer-to-peer network, BUFFERS on any computer used as a file server should be set to between 50 and 99.
- The FILES command should be set to 150, or higher.
- Remove the SETVER.EXE command. No exceptions.
- If you are running a peer-to-peer network such as LANtastic and the SHARE.EXE command appears in the CONFIG.SYS file (on any workstation, including non-dedicated fileservers), remove it and
put it in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file instead. Also, use the /L and /F switches in the SHARE command as follows: SHARE /L:255 /F:4096. In AUTOEXEC.BAT, the SHARE.EXE command should appear before SERVER.EXE.
