DOWNFIX  BAT       689 12-12-91  11:03a

Purpose:
This fix is intended for all versions of NetWare v2.2 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 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.

INSTALLATION
If the OS is generated from hard disk:

1) In the generation area, make a PATCHES directory. Copy the above listed 
   files into the patches directory. 

2)  From the 2.2 gen area, (cd .. from PATCHES directory) run the batch file 
    DOWNFIX.BAT. It will create a backup by renaming the nondedos.obj and 
    the dedos.obj file with an extension of *.bak. (Note: if you already
    have files named nondedos.bak or dedos.bak they will need to be renamed.)

3)  The batch file will execute the zapobj utility. Zapobj will create new
    *.obj files (nondedos.obj and dedos.obj) using the downded.fix and 
    downnd.fix files as parameter files. Zapobj will leave the *.bak files
    as backups.

4)  Run install to relink the OS.

INSTALLATION:
If the OS is generated from floppy:

NOTE: DUE TO THE LIMITATIONS OF DISK SPACE ON FLOPPY DISKETTES IT IS 
NECESSARY TO COPY THE .OBJ FILE TO BE PATCHED TO A BLANK DIRECTORY 
ON A HARD DISK WITH AT LEAST 2 MB OF FREE DISK SPACE ALONG WITH THE
PATCH PROGRAMS.  YOU WILL THEN RUN THE PATCH PROGRAM AND COPY 
THE PATCHED VERSION OF THE FILE BACK TO THE DISKETTE USED AS A 
WORKING COPY.  It would be worthwhile to keep the original version 
for backup purposes, should there be any need start over or go 
back to the unpatched version for any reason.

1) a-If the server is non-dedicated, copy the NONDEDOS.OBJ file 
     from the OSOBJ diskette into an empty directory on the hard disk.  
     Rename NODEDOS.OBJ to NONDEDOS.BAK.  Then copy the DOWNND.FIX 
     and ZAPOBJ.EXE files, listed above, into the same directory. 

     b-If the server is dedicated, copy the DEDOS.OBJ file from the
     OSOBJ diskette into and empty directory on the hard disk.  Rename
     DEDOS.OBJ to DEDOS.BAK.  Then copy the DOWNDED.FIX and ZAPOBJ.EXE 
     files listed above into the same directoy.


2) Run the ZAPOBJ utility as follows from the directory on the hard disk
   that you copied the files to:

     >ZAPOBJ inputfile outputfile parameterfile

   a-If the server is non-dedicated enter:
     >ZAPOBJ NONDEDOS.BAK NONDEDOS.OBJ DOWNND.FIX

   b-If the server is dedicated enter:  
     >ZAPOBJ DEDOS.BAK DEDOS.OBJ DOWNDED.FIX   

3) You have now created a new .obj file in the directory on the 
   hard disk and you should copy this file back onto the OSOBJ
   DISKETTE.  

	NOTE:  THE .bak FILE ON THE HARD DISK IS YOUR BACKUP COPY 
	OF NONDEDOS.OBJ OR DEDOS.OBJ (WHICH EVER YOU MODIFIED)
	AND SHOULD BE SAVED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

4) Relink the OS from the SYSTEM-1 diskette.
