──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SYMPTOM
When running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NetWare Lite
captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the following message:
MESSAGE
Can't print to LPT1
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
File attributes are being received across the network.
CAUSE
A problem with OPENDEV.PAT caused the symptom.
SYMPTOM
When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite server and the
client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be
closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station
connection.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
NetWare Lite print jobs are being lost when the printer has been turned
off or taken offline.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the first commands
from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the following
messages will be displayed and the command will fail:
MESSAGE
Redirect device -- Too many open files.
or
MESSAGE
Write file -- Access denied.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE causes the reconnection between server and client to
fail when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a client to
a server that has just been rebooted. Subsequent NET CAPTURE or NET
PRINT commands from the client station will work normally.
SYMPTOM
Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite is corrupted.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused certain applications run on a client/server
with a local printer to produce printer output that has been corrupted.
SYMPTOM
The NetWare Lite server appears to hang when loading applications in
Window's startup box.
CAUSE
When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1 and running
NetWare Lite, a bug in SERVER.EXE caused the server to not respond until
some of the automatically loaded applications were closed.
SYMPTOM
When running an application that performs background printing on a
server/client with a printer connected locally, the station locks. Some
applications that exhibit this problem (not limited to) are Foxpro,
Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol, and
Red Wing.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused applications doing background printing on a
NetWare Lite server/client where printing is captured to a printer
connected locally to experience a server lock up sometimes.
The problem requires the station to be rebooted. Each time the station
is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are left on the hard
disk. If this happens enough times without running "chkdsk /f" the FAT
table will become corrupted.
SYMPTOM
When using IBM ValuePoint models 425sx or 433dx and pressing the
<Ctrl>+<Alt> keys to reboot the server or when a popup printer status
screen is being displayed, the video screen switches to 40 column mode.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the monitor to switch to the 40 column mode.
SYMPTOM
Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows if Windows is
running in a super VGA mode, such as 8514.
CAUSE
NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of the
printer. A bug in SERVER.EXE causes the popup message box to hang
Windows.
SYMPTOM
With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistent drives get set to valid
physical drives after running the NET utility.
CAUSE
MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter Block
(DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS). CLIENT.EXE was
setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as
a network drive.
SYMPTOM
The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite mapped drive with the
following message:
MESSAGE
PATH NOT FOUND
CAUSE
The file is located at the root directory.
CAUSE
The rename command uses a DOS wildcard character as shown in the
following example:
rename docfile.doc *.sav
SYMPTOM
When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may experience corruption
on their print job under the following conditions:
Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17 function 0 to send
characters to be printed under NetWare Lite,
The application makes repeated calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send
the same character to the printer without reinitializing the character to
be printed in register AL.
CAUSE
The problem is caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
failed to preserve the contents of AL.
SOLUTION
Apply the patch files included in the L11G01.EXE file. (Before applying
files in the FIELDTST subdirectory, read FIELDTST.TXT.)

BEGRIFFE
Fehlerkorrekturdatei:
Eine Datei, die die Erweiterung .PAT aufweist und die an einem
Programm vorgenommenen Änderungen definiert.
Zieldatei:
Eine Datei, die die Erweiterung .EXE aufweist und mit Hilfe einer
Fehlerkorrekturdatei modifiziert wird.
UPATCH:
Universal Update Program (Universales Aktualisierungsprogramm), ein
Programm, das die Zieldateien korrigiert.
Hinweis: UPATCH.EXE wird mit NetWare Lite 1.1 und mit dem
Fehlerkorrektursatz von Lite 1.1 geliefert.
***********************************************************
ALLGEMEINES
Es ist nur eine einzige Diskette erforderlich, um alle im Netzwerk
vorhandenen Kopien des Programms NetWare Lite zu korrigieren. Sie
benötigen nicht eine Diskette für jede einzelne Kopie des Programms
NetWare Lite.
Vor Ausführung des Programms UPATCH sollten Sicherungskopien der Dateien
angelegt werden. Nehmen Sie keine Fehlerkorrekturen in den Programm- und
Treiberdateien auf den Originaldisketten von NetWare Lite vor.
Wenn das Programm NetWare Lite auf der Festplatte eines Rechners
installiert ist, befinden sich die zu korrigierenden Dateien im
Verzeichnis C:\NWLITE.
Wenn ein Rechner nicht über eine eigene Festplatte verfügt, befinden sich
die zu korrigierenden Dateien auf der Diskette in der Arbeitsstation, die
NetWare Lite Datei CLIENT.EXE enthält.
Nehmen Sie die Fehlerkorrekturen in allen im Netzwerk befindlichen Kopien
von NetWare Lite (alle Server und Clienten) mit Hilfe des Programms
UPATCH vor, um eine einheitliche Funktionsweise des Netzwerks zu
gewährleisten. Falls eine in einem Server oder Clienten vorhandene
Programmkopie nicht korrigiert wird, wird diese weiterhin das
unberechenbare Verhalten aufweisen, das die Fehlerkorrekturdatei
verbessern soll.
Lesen Sie sich den Abschnitt des vorliegenden Dokuments, der sich auf die
jeweilige Fehlerkorrekturdatei bezieht, um ihre Funktion kennenzulernen.
Die einzelnen Abschnitte erläutern den Anwendungsbereich, das Datum, die
Prüfsummen und den Wirkungsbereich der Fehlerkorrektur sowie die Symptome
des jeweils vor der Fehlerkorrektur aufgetretenen Problems.
Die Fehlerkorrekturdateien können mit Hilfe des Programms UPATCH vor oder
nach Ausführung von NetWare Lite angewendet werden, jedoch werden die
Änderungen nur nach Neustart des Computers und Laden der korrigierten
Dateien im Speicher wirksam.
***********************************************************

Lite may experience character loss on the print job. The
character loss happens when the application makes repeated
calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send the same
character to the printer without reinitializing the
character to be printed in register AL. The problem is
caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
failed to preserve the contents of AL.
Symptoms: When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may
experience corruption on their print job under the
conditions described above.
***********************************************************
