I've run ts2k on both NT and win98. I personally dont like NT as it
always feels much slower than 98. However after rebooting the 98
system a dozen times, I went to my NT system to debug ts2k. The fact
one doesnt have to reboot every 2 min when ts2k craps out is the only
reason I see to have NT. Note I'm not talking about doing RT data
collection or any data collection, i'm only talking about running
ts2k and putting up a chart with a system.
Contrary to Marks' NT comment I have been able to restart ts2k
repeatedly, but as I indicated I'm not running global server. Note to
kill ts2k I kill the ts32.exe process, and then kill the omega server
application. This seems to get rid of ts2k and its entrails.
Regrettably I've yet to get past ts2k crashing on re-verifying an
unchanged signal.
I see folks referring to svc pack II, is there any date for this? :)
