This article was previously published under Q74777 SYMPTOMS
Top Producer, a real estate package written by Top Producer Systems using
Revelation Technologies, may stop responding (hang) under MS-DOS 6, 6.2, or
6.22.
CAUSE
According to Top Producer Technical Support, Top Producer has problems when
the authorization transfer signature is placed on a DoubleSpace- or
DriveSpace-compressed drive.
RESOLUTION
Top Producer recommends that the authorization signature be moved from the
compressed drive to the installation floppy disk and then to the
uncompressed host drive. Top Producer supplies free of charge a utility
called EZ-Move that performs this transfer for you. This limitation also
applies to Top Producer version 1.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
The MS-DOS-based version of Top Producer version 4.2 relies on BACKUP.COM
from MS-DOS versions 5.0 and earlier. Top Producer provides a workaround
utility to supply BACKUP functionality.
Top Producer is manufactured by Top Producer Systems, a vendor independent
of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this
product's performance or reliability.
