This README file accompanies .FIX files for Advanced and SFT NetWare
v2.15c.
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)
