Re: SQR & Windows 95

Hi folks -

I have been running SQR for Windows on Windows 3.1.  My department recently switched to Windows95, and I have discovered that my SQR programs no longer work quite as expected.

For example, I have been unable to get my reports to run in a normal window. They always run minimized. This means that the output from any 'display' statements can't actually be said to be 'displaying'. The problem is not in the Shortcut Properties for my shortcut to SQRW.EXE (I checked).

I have worked around this problem by rewriting display statements as input statements with prompts (which show up in dialog boxes). However, it would be nice not to have to rewrite all my programs. Does anyone have an answer for this one?

Also, do you know of any other Windows95-related problems my colleagues and I should be aware of? We have one lone PC that we kept on Windows 3.1., specifically so we could run our SQRs on it. Should we keep running Windows 3.1, or can we trust Windows95?

Thanks,

 - Matt Fisher
