I use a little database program that has an old Paradox engine in it.
This is a 16-bit program that runs on Windows. It used to work fine on
Win 3.1 but Win2K seems to make it crash very occasionally, perhaps once
a month. This has been noted on several different machines, Pentium and
AMD CPUs, different amounts of physical memory and speeds, etc.
I'm wondering if Win2K and following has some old, dark corner concerned
with 16-bit apps that has been ignored. Maybe a victim of a missing
lock on multiple processes or an interrupt (i.e., timing) problem.
Thoughts?
