NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN
TITLE: Novell Service Diskette (NSD#1) for the NetWare Requester
for OS/2 v1.3
DOCUMENT ID#: TB.P.288
DATE: 05/06/91
PRODUCT: NetWare OS/2 Requester
PRODUCT REVISION: v1.3
SUPERSEDES: NA
SYMPTOM: NA
ISSUE/PROBLEM
The first Novell Service Diskette (NSD#1) for the NetWare Requester for
OS/2 v1.3 is now available on NetWire, the file name is NSD001.ZIP
located in the NDD area(go ndd), and will be available shortly to
subscribers of Novell's UpDate program. The NDD area on Netwire is
Novell's vehicle to distribute to customers updates to the NetWare
Requester for OS/2. NSD001.ZIP solves minor issues found in the
Requester software and includes an installation program to install the
necessary files on the users' system. If other Novell Service Diskettes
are needed, they will be available through the same channels.
Resolutions on NSD001.ZIP to the NetWare Requester for OS/2 V1.3.
o Applications that use NetWare routines from the NWCALLS.DLL file
when the Requester is not loaded will no longer be terminated.
Instead, they will receive the following error message: 88ff
(REQUESTER NOT LOADED).
o A sending and receiving error code is now properly displayed as 8805
instead of 8905.
o Previously, if the ring broke on a Token-Ring network when the
Requester was trying to send, the Requester would hang the
workstation. Now the send process will simply time out and the
Requester will return an error message.
o Occasionally, OS/2's File Manager does not properly copy a network
directory and its accompanying subdirectories. Previously, this
error caused the system to hang. Now, because of changes to the
Requester, users simply receive an error message.
o Previously, if you used the OS/2 E.EXE editor to create a new file,
the file would not save properly to your file server. An error of
899C was returned. This problem no longer occurs.
o Child processes now close correctly when using Named Pipes.
o The installation program, INSTALL.EXE, will now install on OS/2
Extended Edition when IBM NetBIOS is running. This was only a
problem on OS/2 Extended Edition.
o Previously, if a Named Pipes server was a slower system than a Named
Pipes client connected to it, performance was very poor.
Performance has been improved in this situation.
o A new configuration option, called "DisplayHardErrors," has been
added to the NET.CFG file. This option allows programs to keep
running without interaction when a hard error is displayed. This is
specifically for sites with unattended workstations. The option has
the following syntax:
displayharderrors no
To display error messages, simply leave this line out of the NET.CFG
file.
o In certain circumstances, a NetWare server specified with lower-case
letters in a UNC path would not be recognized. This problem has
been solved.
o The CMGRLAN.SYS driver replaces the TOKENEE.SYS driver. CMGRLAN.SYS
works with IBM Ethernet, IBM PC, and Token-Ring networks using
Extended Edition Communications Manager. If you are running OS/2
Extended Edition, you should use this new driver. Instructions on
using CMGRLAN.SYS are found in the READCMGR.TXT file on the NSD#1
disk.
