Tsoft's NFSDRVR
What's new in 0.26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixed bug where when printer code is loaded, the PrtSc interrupt is
set to an invalid valid when nfsdrvr is unloaded, causing the
machine to crash if PrtSc is pressed then.
Fixed misc. printer related bugs.
(Note: a bug where in some configs, printed files are spooled to lpr
is known and still being tracked down; please report it if you
are seeing it as it will help to crossreference reports!)
Relaxed restricitions on 'authhost' option in fstab.
Made changes to the way user= and password= are handled: avoids
prompting for them when possible. Still queries pcnfsd/bwnfsd
for each file system behind the scenes.
What's new in 0.259
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixed memory corruption bug when bwnfsd or NLM file locking was enabled.
This bug caused crashes, GPFs under Windows, failure to open files
that should have been able to, etc. This bug was *not* in 0.25;
was introduced in 0.252 when some code was converted to assembly.
Fixed various problems with NLM file locking.
What's new in 0.258
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Added the NUTIL*.ZIP package, a small but growing collection of useful
utilities for NFS drives. dos2unix/unix2dos, nfs-aware dir and ls.
Made disk space routine more versatile so it should handle larger drives
better. Let us know if you have problems (ie, free space returned
by dir is incorrect, etc.)
Removed 'redir okay to install?' check in nfsdrvr since it refuses to
load when Netware VLM is loaded.
Fixed printer redirection bug where jobs would fail to spool with some
NFS servers on occasion.
Fixed bug with rename() which would return the wrong error if tries to
rename from one drive to another (or sometimes would do the
wrong thing and not return an error).
RPC retries in mount now.
Misc. minor bug fixes.
What's new in 0.257
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Volume labels are now case preserved from the hostname or the label=
statement in fstab, instead of being converted to upper case.
Fixed DNS bug in Novell LWP version; nameserver queries now work.
Some changes to nfs mode handling; please let us know if file modes
are still created/kept as expected with files accessed on the
server. Added undocumented 'attribs=archmodebit' option for
an SOSS DOS NFS server modification that will preserve the
DOS archive bit across NFS and allow for incremental backups.
What's new in 0.256
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixed bug in "seek from end of file".
Ctrl-P and PrtSc printing now prints the job immediately when done
(on ending Ctrl-P or when PtrSc finishes).
What's new in 0.255
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixed bug where . and .. were looked up in the root directory.
This failed on some systems and caused empty root directories.
Fixed bug so . and .. in sub-directories is exempt from the "leading
dot sets hidden attribute" behavior.
Fixed bug where NFSDRVR can get loadhi/load-normal options backwards at
load and wind up pointing the data segment at the wrong memory.
Archive attribute is now never set on directories.
Fixed misc other bugs.
What's new in 0.254
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Support for remote printers (LPT port redirection).
Support for symbolic links including automounting of absolute links
from the same server.
Partial support for self-loadhigh via the nfsdrvr '-lh' switch.
Currently only loads data segment high (if there's room); will
eventually load the code segment high also.
Fstab option attribs=nodirro.
Other minor additions and bug fixes.
What's new in 0.25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bwnfsd-style and NLM/rpc.lockd file sharing and locking (alpha)
Configurable for up to 8KB writes; also depends on protocol stack
WfWg directory listing bug fixed; the bug may have caused problems with
some DOS apps too
Wattcp: built-in single channel packet multiplexor; no need for pktmux
anymore to run Trumpet Winsock or one other pktdrvr app at a time
Query server's mountd for current exports and client mounts list (mount -e/m)
Slightly reduced memory requirements; moderate savings for wattcp version
when configured for larger r/wsizes
X/Open style tilde name mapping
Option for CD-ROMs where the file server presents long filenames;
truncates as MSCDEX would (hopefully)
Option for case insensitive but case preserving file servers
Improved file attribute mapping; can be configured to follow the
X/Open recommendations
Volume label support
Various other bug fixes
