-
-
- 2 - NEW THIS REVISION
-
- 2.1 - INSTALLR.BAT / WHICH.EXE
-
- New with LW42W2.EXE contains a batch file installer. This installer uses the
- utilities WHICH.EXE and DOS REPLACE.EXE. It also requires about 500 bytes of
- free environment space. The batch file will find the correct directory tree
- by looking for a signature file (namely LWPCON.EXE). If there are any
- problems running the installer batch utility, manually update your appropriate
- directories with the files contained in this patch using the REPLACE or COPY
- command.
-
- Usage: INSTALLR [/h] [/p] [/r] [/d dir]
-
- where:
- /h Displays this information.
- /r View the LW42W2.TXT file after installing.
- /p Prompts user before adding/replacing each file.
- dir Optionally specifies the directory to be upgraded.
-
- WARNING: This batch file requires an environment size of 1024 or more.
- Add this line to CONFIG.SYS to ensure proper execution.
- SHELL=C:\MSDOS\6\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:2048 /P
-
- NOTE: WHICH.EXE identifies the locations and full names of specified files
- found in DOS PATH. "WHICH -h" will produce a usage description. This program
- is not supported by Novell, Inc and is a utility provided by Technical
- Support. It is donated to this patch by John "Frotz" Fa'atuai
- (Frotz@novell.com).
-
-
- 2.2 - LWP_CHK.BAT / LWP_LOG.BAT
-
- LWP_CHK.BAT will examine your environment and determine if there are multiple
- copies of files in unexpected locations. It will generate a log file
- (LWP.LOG) in the TEMP directory. LWP.LOG lists the important files that were
- found via your PATH, complete with version and path information. Run this
- batch file to determine if your LAN WorkPlace environment is stable.
- LWP_LOG.BAT is used by LWP_CHK.BAT to create LWP.LOG.
-
- NOTE: When running LWP_CHK.BAT and LWP_LOG.BAT, these files must either be in
- a directory referenced by path or in your current directory.
-
-
- 2.3 - PRESENTR.EXE (Host Presenter)
-
- 2.3.1 - R412-3B / R412-3A / R412-2W: Corrects problems printing the last line
- of a selected area.
-
- 2.3.2 - R412-2Z / R412-2X: Corrects problem with "4i" (garbage postscript
- data) being printed.
-
- 2.3.3 - R412-2Y / R412-2U: Corrects problem with CUP or "Cursor Postion" (CSI
- 999 ; 999 H) defaulting to (1, 1). Most applications attempt to position the
- cursor at (999,999) and then read the effective cursor position to determine
- the current terminal size. Prior to this correction, the cursor position
- would be the upper left corner of the screen, not the lower right corner of
- the screen. R412-2U fixed this problem in 80-column mode. R412-2Y fixed this
- problem in 132-column mode. In order for this to function correctly, AUTOWRAP
- must be disabled.
-
- The Menu sequence to do this is: SETUP | DISPLAY | AUTOWRAP checkbox.
-
- 2.3.4 - R412-2V: Corrects a problem where escape sequences were displayed
- rather than interpreted in the upper left corner of the screen.
-
- 2.3.5 - R412-2T: Corrects problems where lines were dropped while in
- continuous print mode.
-
- 2.3.6 - R412-2S: Corrects problems where the Terminal Newline definition (CR
- or CRLF) caused problems when logging into a host.
-
- 2.3.7 - R412-2R: Corrects a problem where the cursor disappeared while in
- continuous print mode.
-
- 2.3.8 - R412-2Q: Corrects timing problems between Host Presenter and Script
- Director. Also corrects a memory leak associated with the DDE communication
- between these two applications.
-
- 2.3.9 - R412-2P: Host Presenter now automatically adjusts the screen to fit 24
- lines and 80 columns on the screen. The internal application stack was also
- decreased by 5K.
-
- 2.3.10 - R412-2O: Corrects a problem where the Spanish LAN WorkPlace
- HPLANG.DLL displayed garbage and then crashed Windows; the user would be left
- at the DOS prompt.
-
- 2.3.11 - R412-2N: No longer clears the screen when setting the display to 80
- columns using the VT220 escape code DECCOLM Reset (CSI ? 3 l). NOTE: The last
- character in the DECCOLM Reset sequence is a lower case "L".
-
- 2.3.12 - R412-2N: Added code to adjust the screen size according to the number
- of columns displayed.
-
- 2.3.13 - R412-2N: Corrects a problem using very small fonts using postscript
- in Landscape Orientation, while "Bypass Printer Driver" is enabled.

- 3.1.5 - R412-2G: A General Protection Fault occurred after printing a file
- approximately 10 times.
