- Special-case Patches to NetWare 386 v3.10 rev. A
-
- Several patches have been released for NetWare 386 v3.10 rev. A which are
- to be used when a particular error or problem exists. The following list
- identifies and describes the patch, and provides, in parentheses, the
- filename on NetWire to download. (See Technical Bulletin 277 for an
- explanation of patch types)
-
- DELDIRFX.NLM is a dynamic patch that corrects a problem where the server
- comes to an abnormal end with the message "Abend: DeleteDirectory
- found invalid phantom list." This error occurs whenever an attempt is
- made to delete a directory which contains a certain number of trustees
- assigned to it. The number of trustees must be greater than eight
- and the binary representation for that number must have the number two
- bit set. For example, the binary representation of 10 trustees is
- 1010; the second bit is set in this binary number. Bits are numbered
- from R to L. (DLDRFX.ZIP)
-
- DELFIX.NLM is a dynamic patch that corrects a problem where the server
- comes to an abnormal end with the message "Abend: DeleteFileCompletely
- found an invalid TNode." This error occurs whenever an attempt is made
- to delete a file which has seven or more trustees assigned to it and
- Immediate Purge Of Deleted Files is set to ON. (DELFIX.ZIP)
-
- DTTMFIX.NLM is a dynamic patch that corrects two problems. One problem
- would not allow a file's date/time to be set to 0. Some applications
- known to set the date/time to 0 are Borland's Turbo C++ and Turbo
- Pascal products. The compiler's "Build All" option within the
- integrated environment sets the date/time to zeros in order to force a
- full recompilation of all source files. Without this patch installed,
- the file's date/time remains unchanged.
-
- This patch also fixes a problem where a file's backup and creation
- dates are not being set correctly while the file is copied to the
- network. This occurs whenever the file is held open during the
- setting of the dates. This condition is most evident when copying
- files from a Macintosh workstation. (DTTMFX.ZIP)
