Using the DOS Requester

PSQL v12 supports DOS Btrieve applications with the DOS Requestor. The DOS requester supports Btrieve applications only, not ODBC applications. This section explains how to use the DOS requester to run PSQL-based DOS applications in Windows.

DOS Box support allows a DOS application to run in a DOS box on a Windows platform. This enables direct communication to the Windows 32-bit workstation components rather than to the database engine. This configuration can be used with either a local PSQL Workgroup engine, or a remote engine. The TCP/IP, SPX, or NetBIOS protocol supported for client/server access depends on the configuration of the Windows 32-bit components.

Supported Configurations

The DOS requester supports both Workgroup and Client to remote Server engine configurations.
