This patch repairs a mirroring bug in the sft code of NETWARE 2.15X. The
patch allows the remirror command to copy VIT sectors 22-25 in addition to
the usuall sectors 16 and 17. The problem is only present on large drives
(600 Meg).
The programs and data in this subdirectory are for patching the net$os.exe
or the net$os.ex1 file. Use the following procedure:
Before you do anything, be sure all data on the server is backed up.
1) Login as supervisor to the server to be patched and change to the
subdirectory sys:system.
2) Use the FLAG program to set the attributes on net$os.exe to read/write:
flag net$os.exe rw
4) Copy the files on this floppy to sys:system.
5) Type the following:
pexe net$os.exe <cr>
4) It will take about 10 seconds for the patches to finish and a message
will come up indicating if the patches were successful or not.
5) An alternative method, is to leave the patch programs in one area and
put a path on the filenames to be patched above.
note: Note the net$os.ex1 file in the netgen area can also be patched
before it is installed by netgen. If you do this type the following.
pexe net$os.ex1 <cr>
6) When finished, verify that the modify date has been changed and copy the
newly modified net$os.ex1 back to its area in the netgen subdirectory. Or
if you modified net$os.exe in sys:system, change the file attributes back
to read only by typing "FLAG NET$OS.EXE RO".
WARNING: THIS PATCH WILL NOT WORK ON OBJ FILES.
