ISSUE:
PATCHES AND FIXES FOR V3.12 ONLY:
SYMPTOM
The following error is displayed when selecting "Directory Contents" in filer
Description: Error returned from SplitPath ccode is 899b.
Severity: The current operation cannot be completed.
SOLUTION
Apply FILER.EXE 273421 03-29-95 4:51p.
SYMPTOM
A problem was identified when the last PC to login, or PC with the highest
connection slot to the NetWare server, was an OS/2 PC and a message is sent
with the SEND.EXE utility to a group of which this OS/2 PC was a member.
Under these circumstances the message is sent to all members of the group but
then SEND.EXE continues to try and send the message to all the remaining
un-used connections on the NetWare server generating an error for each un-used
connection. The included versions of SEND.EXE should resolve this problem.
SOLUTION
For OS/2 apply SEND.OS2 17790 1-06-95 5:36p
For DOS apply SEND.DOS 34512 1-06-95 5:33p
(Rename SEND.DOS to SEND.EXE and copy to sys:public)
SYMPTOM
SYSCON.EXE resolves a problem with earlier SYSCON, when creating a User home
directory. Error: "SetDrivePath returned error -30717". Version 3.77 of
Syscon will generate a SYS1811: Trap 000d if you delete a user ID that is
logged in.
SOLUTION
Apply SYSCON.EXE, 273468 bytes, 08-22-94.
SYMPTOM
The included version of CAPTURE.3X addresses issues of running login.exe from
a CALL statement in the OS/2 config.sys and hanging if a #capture existed in
the OS/2 login script. This problem occurs with the CAPTURE.EXE that ships
with NetWare 3.1x, including CAPTURE.EXE v3.75, dated 5-20-93, that ships with
NetWare 3.12.
SOLUTION
Apply CAPTURE.EXE, 37103 bytes, 1-22-91.
This version of capture should NOT be used with 4.X NetWare.
PATCHES AND FIXES FOR V4.02 ONLY:
SYMPTOM
Error: CAPTURE-4.03-700: The mode, <MODE> of device, <DEVICE>, cannot be found
in the PRINTDEF database. Either specify a valid mode or create a new mode
with the specified name. This occurs when using an NDS queue object that is
set up to redirect a print job through the 4.x queue object to a 3.x print
server queue. To duplicate the error you need to define and use a Device and
Mode. This occured with capture.exe 5-05-94 that shipped with NetWare v4.02.
SOLUTION
Apply CAPTURE.EXE, 105149 bytes, 09-02-94 and CAPTURE.MSG, 30953 bytes,
05-05-94. (See Installation Instructions)
CAPTURE.EXE that ships NetWare v4.10 also resolves this issue.
SYMPTOM
Using CX before logging in will return the following errors:
SYS3175: A program generated an access violation at 0001:09f5 CX.EXE.
SYS1811: The process has stopped.
The software diagnostic code (trap number) is 000D.
SOLUTION
Apply CX.EXE, 45408 bytes, 5-13-94.
CX.EXE that ships with the v2.11 OS/2 Client Kit also resolved this issue.
CX.EXE that ships with NetWare v4.10 also resolves this issue.
CX.EXE that ships with the V2.12 OS/2 Client also resolves this issue
PATCHES AND FIXES FOR v3.12 and v4.10:
SYMPTOM
NDIR.EXE was unable to locate files if more than 255 directories searched.
NDIR.EXE was giving memory allocation errors when searching directories with
more
than 200 LongFileNames. NDIR.EXE was modified to display KB's instead of Bytes
on Large 4GB volumes or Directoies
SOLUTION
NDIR.EXE 154448 09-07-95 9:49a
NDIR.MSG 14761 08-07-95 11:36a
SYMPTOM
LOGIN.EXE did not correctly pass login environment variables to spawned
processes. For example, if a CMD file was called from the login script, the
CMD file could not make use of variables that had been set in the login
script. LOGIN.EXE 10-24-94 129904 didn't parse login scripts using "IF MEMBER
OF "GROUP1" THEN BEGIN" when the groups names only differed by the last
character. After executing LOGIN.EXE the first available non local drive
would be mapped to SYS: ie D:=Server/sys:. This drive is now deleted unless
the login script maps the drive.
SOLUTION
Apply LOGIN.EXE 128704 6-22-95 & LOGIN.MSG 11333 9-22-94.
This is a 4.10 utility and can be used in a 3.X enviorment to resolve this
issue. LOGIN.MSG ships with NetWare v4.10.
LOGIN.EXE that ships with OS/2 v2.12 Client (Intranet Ware OS/2 client)also
resolves this issue.
SYMPTOM
Versions of OS/2 NCOPY prior to this patch would cause extended attribute
corruption and also would fail to release resources back to the alloc short
term memory pool on v3.x NetWare servers. NCOPY /S from local drive to network
dirve would not correctly create subdirectories on network drive.
Prior versions of DOS NCOPY would fail to process extended attribute
information correclty.
SOLUTION
For OS/2 apply NCOPY.EXE 74606 08-31-95.
For DOS apply NCOPY.DOS 313464 10-19-94.
(Rename NCOPY.DOS to NCOPY.EXE and copy to sys:public)
For both DOS & OS/2 use NCOPY.MSG 7733 9-21-94.
NCOPY.DOS and NCOPY.MSG ship with NetWare v4.10.
This is a v4.10 utility and can be used in a 3.X enviorment to solve the above
symptom.
