DLGSRV operation


Whenever Eloquence executes a DLG SET ".driver","@...", the RUNSRV utility on the target system is used to launch DLGSRV, passing information in the commandline how to connect to the Eloquence process.
The command line used by RUNSRV to start DLGSRV is defined in the ELOQ.INI file (in your WINDOWS directory) in the section [runsrv], configuration item DlgSrv.
The %s argument is replaced by hostname:port passed by Eloquence.
When DLGSRV starts up, it will iconize itself. If you restore the DLGSRV window, a message box pops up, which allows you to terminate the DLGSRV program. This may also be achieved by selecting close from the system menu.
Warning You should not terminate DLGSRV manually, because this may lead to loss of data and abnormal termination of the server program. DLGSRV will be terminated by Eloquence, if processing has been finished.
However, to recover from a program failure or a communication breakdown you are enabled to terminate DLGSRV manually.

Depending on eloq.ini settings, DLGSRV.EXE on the PC uses one of the following DLL's to interface the network software.
  • EQCLNTWS.DLL - WINSOCK 1.1
  • EQCLNTSO.DLL - WSOCKETS
