I shouldn't think that NT has any bearing on the problem.

Are you sure of this?  Replication Option 6.0-11 is the version that was
released early last year from Oracle.  Then more recently we released version
7.0.  Version 6.1 was a Beta version released from Digital.  When the product
was bought by Oracle, 6.1 was changed to 7.0.  So, there never was a production
version of 6.1 per se.

You might post a note in the DBINTEGRATOR_PUBLIC conference on node NOMAHS.

Is it a DBI bugcheck?  If so, you ought to post the note in the DBI conference
mentioned above.

There's no official ROR 6.1.  ROR 6.0-11 won't work with the 7.0 DBI gateways
because their names changed.  ROR 7.0 will work with those gateways.

Yes.

|  |     That cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Thanks.
    
    Sorry about the 6.1 red herring it must be 6.0-11. I know this as you
    might notice from the other questions, I never realised that ROR 7.0
    shipped seperately.
    
    Seems that they managed to find a 3.1 DBI kit from Digital and install
    that. I thought the CT had installed 7.0 as they had no valid PAK for
    3.1, due to upgrading their Alpha, and we agreed installing 7.0 was
    easier than finding a PAK:-)
    
    I will order the right kit and post this if there are still problems.
