- This is AFP56.ZIP. Included with this file is AFPFIX5.NLM,
- AFPFIX6.NLM and PATCHMAN.NLM.
-
- AFPFIX5.NLM resolves a problem with DOS text files and DOS
- applications (.com, .exe, etc...) reverting to the default blank icon
- when being moved from folder to folder on the NetWare v3.11 and
- NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 or v3.01 server. With this patch
- loaded on the server, the icon will remain constant when the file is
- moved.
-
- AFPFIX6.NLM fixes two create problems in AFP.NLM v3.0 and
- v3.01 that come with NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 and v3.01. The
- first problem occurs under System 7. When a user has effective
- rights of Create but no Access Control to a folder, for example
- "test", and attempts to create a folder in "test" or copy a folder to
- "test", an error alert is displayed: "You cannot create a folder in the
- window "test" because you do not have enough access privileges."
- But, the folder is created. The second problem occurs in both
- System 6 and System 7 Macintosh workstations. When a user has
- effective rights of Create but not Modify to a folder, for example
- "test2", and files are copied to folder "test2", they lose their Finder
- Information, which includes their Type and Creator, and in System
- 7, flags that make alias files, stationery files, and edition files
- special.
-
- AFPFIX5.NLM and AFPFIX6.NLM should be loaded together to
- completely resolve all the problems mentioned here.
-
- To install:
-
- (a) Copy PATCHMAN.NLM, AFPFIX5.NLM and AFPFIX6.NLM to SYS:\SYSTEM.
- (b) Add the following commands to AUTOEXEC.NCF:
- LOAD PATCHMAN
- LOAD AFPFIX5
- LOAD AFPFIX6
- The lines should be added after the LOAD AFP command line.
- (c) Down the server and re-boot, or manually load PATCHMAN and
- AFPFIX5 and AFPFIX6 NLMs at the NetWare console.
