Please study this README file in its entirety before using ZAPOBJ.
This Readme file for MOUNTR.EXE is for Netware 2.15c.
This patch is intended for NetWare 2.15c and corrects problems mounting
large removable drives.
To install a fix into NetWare using ZAPOBJ, issue the following command:
ZAPOBJ input_obj_file output_obj_file fix_file > list_file
In the above command, input_obj_file is the current .OBJ file,
output_obj_file will be an updated version of input_obj_file, and fix_file
is an input file containing the changes and is named after the .OBJ file
it is to update. The " > list_file " suffix is optional and redirects the
ZAPOBJ report from the screen to a disk file. We recommend this command
suffix in the event of an unsuccessful execution.
Which .FIX file you use depends on the flavor of NetWare 286 you have
installed and whether you installed with 3 1/2inch or 5 1/4inch diskettes.
For example, NetWare Advanced users would use ADV.FIX if they installed
from 3 1/2inch diskettes or a combination of ADV_1.FIX and ADV_2.FIX if
they installed from 5 1/4inch diskettes. NetWare TTS 5 1/4inch users
would use TTS.FIX or a combination of TTS_1.FIX and TTS_2.FIX.
For certain updates, Novell may not require an update to both .OBJ files in
the 5 1/4inch format. In this case only one of the two .FIX files will be
found. If a correctly named .FIX file cannot be found, a file called
GENERIC.FIX should be present and will update all .OBJ files that it is
designed for. These .FIX files are ASCII text and contain documentation on
which versions and flavors of NetWare .OBJ files they are written to
update.
Examples of how to invoke ZAPOBJ:
NetWare Advanced users who originally installed NetWare using 5 1/4inch
diskettes and who were sent two ADV_n.FIX files (ZAPOBJ is executed
twice in this example):
ZAPOBJ ADV_1.OBJ NEWADV_1.OBJ ADV_1.FIX >ADV_1.LST
ZAPOBJ ADV_2.OBJ NEWADV_2.OBJ ADV_2.FIX >ADV_2.LST
NetWare TTS users who originally installed NetWare using 3 1/2inch
diskettes:
ZAPOBJ TTS.OBJ NEWTTS.OBJ TTS.FIX >TTS.LST
NetWare ELS II users who originally installed NetWare using 3 1/2 inch
diskettes (note that ELS II is always distributed as two .OBJ files):
ZAPOBJ ELS_1.OBJ NEWELS_1.OBJ ELS_1.FIX >ELS_1.LST
ZAPOBJ ELS_2.OBJ NEWELS_2.OBJ ELS_2.FIX >ELS_2.LST
NetWare SFT users who originally installed NetWare using 5 1/4 inch
diskettes and who were sent only one SFT_n.FIX file:
ZAPOBJ SFT_2.OBJ NEWSFT_2.OBJ SFT_2.FIX >SFT_2.LST
ZAPOBJ will issue a report of the changes made in the creation of the
output .OBJ file. The last line of this report will indicate the success
or failure of the update. If ZAPOBJ is unsuccessful, please contact
Novell Technical Services. If ZAPOBJ is successful, replace your original
.OBJ with the updated one just created and execute NETGEN. Link and
configure the operating system and cause NET$OS to be copied to your
network drive. This procedure will complete your installation.
Users should maintain a backup copy of all .OBJ files prior to updating
them with ZAPOBJ. It is also recommended that the user exercise his or
her system software after such an update prior to placing it back into
production.
