This section lists the restrictions that were current when Reality V14.0 was released. For the latest information, refer to the Reality pages on the Northgate portal (www.northgate-is.com/reality).
To avoid possible problems with existing applications, the default compiler used by the BASIC command is that which was supplied with Reality V11.0. This means that the new DataBasic features described in the New Features section will not be available. If you want to use the new features, you can specify the new compiler using one of the methods described in Using Alternative Compilers.
Note: The demonstration database created when you install the demonstration/evaluation version of Reality is configured to use the new compiler.
The foreign database files feature is not currently available on AIX.
The UNIX-Connect Simple File Transfer (SFT) utility is not available on Linux.
On Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1 or Vista, if the documentation is installed on the local file system and you are using Internet Explorer, you will receive a number of security warnings regarding active content. These can be avoided by installing the documentation on a web server (recommended), or by selecting the Allow active content to run in files on My Computer option (you can find this in Tools | Internet Options..., on the Advanced tab under Security).
