Purpose:
This fix is intended for all versions of NetWare v2.15 for dedicated and non-
dedicated servers. This patch fixes the ABEND message "Stack overflow" that
occurs if any DOS process has more than 25 files open at the time the server 
is DOWNed. 

This patch allocates more space so that the "stack overflow" ABEND does not
occur at the time the server is downed, if there are 240 or less open files 
per process. With this patch, if the server is downed while files are open,
the message "files still open, do you want to down the server?" will appear 
at the file server console. 

To implement this patch, ZAPOBJ.EXE is run against a .OBJ file using a .FIX
parameter file.  Parameter files (ie. *.FIX) containing temporary fixes are
supplied for both 3.5" and 5.25" media.  The first 8 characters of the .FIX
files are named the same as  the .OBJ files which are to be patched.  ZAPOBJ
syntax is: 
  
       ZAPOBJ <input>.OBJ <output>.OBJ <input>.FIX 
 
This should be run for each .OBJ which needs to be patched.  ZAPOBJ.EXE must
be run in the same directory as the .OBJ.  The <output>.OBJ file has a 
different name than the <input>.OBJ file, but it should be renamed to
<input>.OBJ after the patch process. 
 
For example, in order to patch Advanced NetWare 3.5" media, 
 
1)     Copy ZAPOBJ.EXE and DOWNDED.FIX to the ADOBJ diskette or subdirectory.
 
2)     Execute the statement:  ZAPOBJ ADV.OBJ NEWADV.OBJ DOWNDED.FIX
 
3)     Rename ADV.OBJ to ADV.BAK and rename NEWADV.OBJ to ADV.OBJ 
 
4)     Run NETGEN and ensure that the "Link/Configure NetWare Operating System" 
       option is selected and that NET$OS.EXE is copied to your network.    

 
This patch need only be run against the one .OBJ file corresponding to the
network operating system you are generating (i.e. Advanced, SFT, or TTS - SFT
with TTS). 
 
The following is a list of .FIX files, their associated .OBJ files to be 
patched, the diskettes or subdirectories where the .OBJ file is located, and
the applicable media size. 
 
       DOWNDED.FIX           ADV.OBJ       ADOBJ          (for 3.5" media)            
       DOWNND.FIX            NDADV.OBJ     ANDOBJ         (for 3.5" media)            
       DOWNSFT.FIX           SFT.OBJ       SFTOBJ         (for 3.5" media)
       DOWNTTS.FIX           TTS.OBJ       TTSOBJ         (for 3.5" media)   
       DOWNDED.FIX           ADV_1.OBJ     ADOBJ          (for 5.25" media)   
       DOWNND.FIX            NDADV_1.OBJ   ANDOBJ         (for 5.25" media)   
       DOWNSFT.FIX           SFT_1.OBJ     SFTOBJ         (for 5.25" media)   
       DOWNTTS.FIX           TTS_1.OBJ     TTSOBJ         (for 5.25" media)
