   Depending on your system configuration, you might get "BDE Error $251E" and   
   other equal weirdnesses.  These problems can crop up at various times, such   
   as following an upgrade.   
      
   Generally speaking, errors of this type probably have to do with the "shared   
   memory" segment that is used by BDE (the database engine) to communicate   
   with clients.  BDE attempts to allocate this buffer during the first   
   startup, using defaults for SHARED MEM LOCATION and SHARED MEM SIZE.   
      
   (1) The default memory-location is probably "0x6BDE" and the size "2048"(K).   
      
   (2) You might need to fiddle with the parameters, literally, to find out   
   what fixes the problem.   
      
   (3) If you are using an emulated environment, such as Linux "Wine," or if   
   you are using a recent version of Windows which supports emulation of   
   earlier releases, you might have to explore these settings.
