It's amazing you are still using Dos machines !
What I would suggest is that you use Dbase / paradox etc to write to a middleware DB then pump that data into FB using a windows machine. So basically what you already doing with you txt files but using Dbase / paradox instead to provide a bit more stability.

the problem is if the DOS app crashes or errors out it will completely crash the bridge app
With the 3.1 client would that have been a ODBC interface?

Andy,
You are out of luck.
I don’t think there was ever a DOS client software that was released. There was a 16 bit Windows 3.1 client but that wouldn’t work with DOS applications.
How does your “bridge” tackle the problem? Perhaps we can suggest a different approach.

Hi all,
Can someone help I have 230 DOS machines that I need to connect to a Firebird database
Is this Possible? At the moment I have a “bridge” app that takes FOR EVER to update the
database (ideally I would like each DOS machine to update the database directly)
Can this be done from DOS?
Andy
