Windows NT related problems

Supported operating systems Can I run Changi on Windows NT 3.51? Yes, you can.
Differences between OS/2 and NT Version Are there any differences between Changi for OS/2 and Changi for Windows NT? Both versions are based on the same source code. Nevertheless there are a few differences. In the first place the NT version currently doesn't support REXX.

Another difference is caused by problems starting child processes and feeding them through their standard input. This, for example, is done by Chanx while calling Rnews. Unless a more portable version of this part of the code becomes available, the Windows NT version creates a temporary file on the harddisk before calling the child process. Usually you won't recognize this difference, except with Chanx, where option -mb is hard coded and can't be disabled.

It has also been reported, that the NT version doesn't detect a change made on nntp_access. Changi has to be restarted.

CPPWM35I.DLL When trying to run Changi or any other program of the distribution, I got a system response saying, that CPPWM35I.DLL is missing. This problem is similar to the message file not found problem and occurs with the first beta for Windows NT. Like DDE4.MSG, this DLL can't be distributed with Changi, because it's copyright protected. You must upgrade Changi.
Reporting Problems Anyway... just wanted to report the error. If you don't want error reports in the future, please let me know. The author of Changi does like to get any error report. However, he may not be able to respond to everyone. But all reports are collected and processed later.
