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. SOLUTION Apply LOGIN.EXE 138784 bytes, 6-01-94 & LOGIN.MSG 12086 bytes, 4-13-94. This is a 4.X utility and can be used in a 3.X enviorment to solve the above symptom. 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. Prior versions of DOS NCOPY would fail to process extended attribute information correclty. SOLUTION For OS/2 apply NCOPY.EXE 67008 bytes, 11-03-93. For DOS apply NCOPY.DOS 249555 bytes, 10-28-93. (Rename NCOPY.DOS to NCOPY.EXE and copy to sys:public) For both DOS & OS/2 use NCOPY.MSG This is a 4.X utility and can be used in a 3.X enviorment to solve the above symptom. 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. 4X patches and fixes: SYMPTOM Error: CAPTURE-4.03-700: The mode, of 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) 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.
