Re: 6.15 and btrbox

Send another dollar to Mr. Gates & write on it "thanks for the speed!"

Seriously, though, IPX/SPX is not a good protocol for Windows computers.  If
BREQNT is slow to load, then try removing the BTI.CFG file -- this often makes
it very slow to load, especially since you are including the parameter values on
the command line.

My best recommendation is to upgrade to Pervasive.SQL V8 Security (includes
Btrieve v8.5) and use TCP/IP instead...
