- This README file accompanies .FIX files for Advanced and SFT NetWare v2.15c.
- The following files are included for this patch:
-
- ADV FIX 426 05-14-90 12:52p (for 3.5" media)
- SFT FIX 421 05-14-90 1:02p (for 3.5" media)
- TTS FIX 421 05-14-90 1:01p (for 3.5" media)
- ADV_2 FIX 428 05-14-90 12:53p (for 5.25" media)
- SFT_2 FIX 423 05-18-90 3:14p (for 5.25" media)
- TTS_2 FIX 423 05-14-90 1:01p (for 5.25" media)
- ZAPOBJ EXE 23586 07-11-90 12:15p

-
- This patch corrects a problem appearing in servers when VAPs are loaded.
- Symptoms of this problem have been General Protection Interrupts or Stack
- Overflow Errors while a VAP is loading, or corruption in volume names on multi-
- volume systems.
-
-
- ZAPOBJ.EXE is run against a .OBJ file using a .FIX parameter file. Parameter
- files containing temporary fixes (ie. *.FIX) 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 ADV.FIX to the ADOBJ diskette or subdirectory.
-
- 2) Execute the following statement: ZAPOBJ ADV.OBJ NEWADV.OBJ ADV.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.
-
- ADV.FIX ADV.OBJ ADOBJ (for 3.5" media)
- SFT.FIX SFT.OBJ SFTOBJ (for 3.5" media)
- TTS.FIX TTS.OBJ TTSOBJ (for 3.5" media)
- ADV_2.FIX ADV_2.OBJ OSOBJ (for 5.25" media)
- SFT_2.FIX SFT_2.OBJ OSOBJ (for 5.25" media)
- TTS_2.FIX TTS_2.OBJ OSOBJ (for 5.25" media)
