Network Suite - Revelation Universal Driver v4.0
If you are running a multi-user Revelation-based application on a Windows
Server, then this product is for you.
The benefits of using the Universal Driver 4.0 are:
- Protection from data corruption. Data corruption can occur for a
variety of reasons, including bad network cabling, power fluctuations,
hardware errors, no record locking, or users aborting processes. Often
it is impossible to predict or prevent such events. The Revelation
Universal Driver protects you against data corruption when such events
do occur by recognizing that an error occurred and notifying the user,
while protecting the data table from incomplete transactions, virtually
eliminating data corruption errors (Group Format Errors).
- Increased speed performance. The Revelation Network Products are
designed to enable database activity to be off-loaded onto the file
server. This architecture dramatically reduces the amount of network
requests. The reduction of network requests translates to increased
performance. Benchmarks show a dramatic performance increase on local
area networks (LANs), and an even greater increase on wide area networks
(WANs).
- Reduced Downtime Costs mount very quickly when your users can't use
the system. The real cost of data corruption is the downtime created
while the appropriate back-ups are found and restored. If the system
can't be restored with a recent back-up, the information must be
re-entered, taking additional precious resources.
The Universal Driver 4.0 provides backward compatibility with all
previous versions of Linear Hash files which is not available with the
Universal Driver 3.0. Also included with the Universal Driver 4.0 is a
console application (the LH Manager) that allows you to manage record locks
without having to stop the Linear Hash Service, as well as view the active
connections to your applications.
What are some of the other great features of the Universal Driver 4.0?
- There is only one REVPARAM file no matter how many different
subdirectories you have with .LK and .OV files.
- There is support for files larger than 4 gigabytes.
- There is support for large frame sizes up to 100K.
- You can 'hide' your .LK and .OV from your users.
- The LHVerify facility is integrated onto the server side, allowing
much faster performance.
- Registry settings and REVPARAM file created automatically.

Will the Universal Driver work with Windows 95/98 workstations?
No, it will only work with NT, 2000 and XP workstations. On networks
where you have a mix of NT/2000/XP and 95/98 workstations, if you install
any version of the Universal Driver, the 95/98 workstations will not run
Revelation-based applications.
