README FOR MFXOPEN1.NLM
This README file accompanies MFXOPEN1.ZIP. The following files are
included for this revision:
MFXOPEN1.NLM 1112 7-03-91 9:25a
PATCHMAN NLM 7421 4-12-91 10:23a
PATCHMAN DOC 4262 4-12-91 3:23p
This patch is intended for the 250 user version of NetWare 386 v3.11a that
are running the MAC gateway VAPS in addition to the AFP NLMs. This
patch fixes the problem that MAC users have when trying to open files
that are flagged Read Only. The user is unable to open the file, and
receives the error message: "File not found."
MFXOPEN1.NLM is intended for 386 v.3.11a and is a dynamic patch which
is loaded at the file server console as a NetWare Loadable Module.
MFXOPEN1.NLM requires PATCHMAN.NLM v2.01a (4-12-91 or later) in
order to load.
Unlike previous patches, the SERVER.EXE file is never modified by this
patch. MFXOPEN1.NLM patches the Operating System in memory, not on
the disk. This means that MFXOPEN1.NLM must be loaded each time
before any "fixes" take effect. It is recommended that the command "LOAD
MFXOPEN1" be placed in the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file to ensure that
the patch is always in effect when the server is initially brought up.
Since it is an NLM, MFXOPEN1.NLM can be loaded and unloaded without
ever having to bring the server down. Once loaded, the Operating System
is patched and ready to go.
Unloading MFXOPEN1.NLM will restore the Operating System to its
original "un-patched" state.
Like all NLM-type patches, MFXOPEN1.NLM requires the Patch Manager
(PATCHMAN.NLM) to be loaded before it can be loaded. If PATCHMAN
is not already loaded, MFXOPEN1.NLM will attempt to locate
PATCHMAN and load it automatically if found. PATCHMAN only needs
to be loaded once. All other patches can load once PATCHMAN is loaded.
PATCHMAN cannot be unloaded until all patches that rely on it are first
unloaded. Typing "Patches" at the system command line once
PATCHMAN is loaded will display all patches currently loaded on the file
server.
Installation:
1. To install MFXOPEN1.NLM, simply place the MFXOPEN1.NLM file in the
same directory as the other NLM files (SYS:SYSTEM or DOS partition), and
type "LOAD MFXOPEN1." Once the patch has loaded, all changes are in
effect until MFXOPEN1 is unloaded.
2. The changes made by this patch will be implemented in all future versions
NetWare 386. This patch and PATCHMAN.NLM (v2.01a) will only operate
on NetWare 386 v3.11. Other versions of NetWare 386 will require a
version of PATCHMAN specific to that release.
