History for the NetWare DOS Shell v3.01
The following is a history of the major changes that have occured
in the NetWare DOS shell v3.01 and higher. This document is
updated with each additonal release of the NetWare DOS shell.
Netx.COM 3.01 Rev. A 5-8-90
XMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. A 5-8-90
EMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. A 5-8-90
■ Loading SiteLock by Briteworks would fail, causing the
DOS workstation to hang. This problem was corrected with
the 3.01 rev B shell.
Netx.COM 3.01 Rev. B 6-6-90
XMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. B 6-6-90
EMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. B 6-6-90
■ Using the Preferred Server option caused the network
response time to be functionally slower than if the user
did not use this option. The 3.01 rev C shell corrected
this problem.
■ When using DOS 4.0 with EMSNETx and XMSNETx shells the
DOS directories would not display correctly under
Windows. This was corrected with the 3.01 rev C shell.
■ The enhanced memory shells were not sending header
information when using job configurations that included
escape codes. For example, a job that should print
landscape would print using the default mode (portrait).
■ When printing to a captured LPT device an error message
"Device not ready" would appear. A retry would allow the
job to continue. The 3.01 rev C shell corrected this
problem.
■ Fake roots were being deleted on paths with volume names
before the path was determined valid. ie. CD PRN: would
delete the fake root. This was fixed with the 3.01 rev
C shell.
■ On 286-based servers the Dynamic Memory Pool (DMP) 1 was
not being released properly with the XMSNETx and EMSNETx
shells causing the server to hang eventually. With the
3.01 rev C shell the memory is released when exiting the
Windows DOS Prompt.
Netx.COM 3.01 Rev. C * Not released
XMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. C * Not released
EMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. C * Not released
* The NetWare DOS Shells Rev. C was made available to
NetWare Developers only. The NetWare DOS shells v3.01
rev D was released to all users and contains all the 3.01
rev C changes.
Netx.COM 3.01 Rev. D 9-7-90
XMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. D 9-7-90
EMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. D 9-7-90
■ When running the 3.01 rev D shell on a NetWare V2.15 or
less operating system, external program execution (using
the #) from the login script does not work unless the
user has open privileges at the volume root. This has
been corrected in the shells dated 9/18/90 or later.
■ Nver will return Rev. C instead of Rev. D. This has been
corrected in the shells dated 9/18/90 or later.
Netx.COM 3.01 Rev. D 9-18-90
XMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. D 9-18-90
EMSNetx.EXE 3.01 Rev. D 9-18-90
■ When using the DOS 4.0 "TrueName" (undocumented DOS
command) command invalid data was returned to the shell.
This invalid data causes Emerald's System's backup to not
function properly. The 3.01 rev E shell corrects this
problem.
■ Microsoft Link was reporting a scratched file error when
linking a large number of files. This was corrected in
3.01 rev E of the NetWare DOS shell.
■ Added support for Version.exe utility. This support was
not present in earlier releases of the shell.
■ Corrected a problem with the rename function where the
wrong error code would be returned to applications such
as Platinum Accounting by Advanced Business Microsystems.
This error was also exhibited with the NETGEN message:
Cannot find DRVRDATA.DAT.
■ Corrected a problem where the shell was not correctly
maintaining the default server after logout when an X.25
bridge is used.
■ On ELS NetWare servers you would get one less connection
than the maximum when using remote boot. The 3.01 rev
E shell corrected this problem allowing the user to get
all connections to the server.
■ Enabled file caching in EMSNETx and XMSNETx shells. File
caching was not enabled in earlier releases of the
enhanced memory shells. Also fixed a problem where these
shells were passing an incorrect file server address to IPX.
The error most commonly seen was "No response from server
<servername>"
■ Added the /? option to the command line which displays
version and usage information.
■ Added a feature in the 3.01 rev E shell that tells the
user that a TSR is loaded when trying to unload the
shell.
