READNSD.TXT file for NSD #1
NetWare Requester for OS/2 V1.3
This is a Novell Service Diskette (NSD). It solves minor problems found in
the NetWare Requester for OS/2 version 1.3 software. This NSD is available on
NetWire and to subscribers of the NetWare UpDate program. If other NSDs are
needed, they will be available through the same channels.
INSTALLING THE NSD
Step 1 Boot the workstation with OS/2 and open an "OS/2 Window" or
"OS/2 Full Screen." The command line prompt appears. NOTE: You can
press F1 or click the "Help" button for help during this procedure.
Step 2 Insert the NSD diskette into drive A, change to drive A, and type
the following:
NSDINSTL <Enter>
NOTE: If you are running NSDINSTL from a diskette, you will need to
give the diskette a volume label of NSD.
An installation window appears.
Step 3 If you originally installed the NetWare Requester in the default
C:\NETWARE directory, skip to the next step. If you installed the
Requester in another location, click the "Specify directories"
button, type in the location(s), and click the "OK" button.
Step 4 Click the "Copy program files" button; then click the "Start" button.
The NSD files are copied to your hard disk. Click the "OK" button on
the "Installation complete" message.
Step 5 Click the "Exit" button. Note that you must reboot for the changes
to take effect.
PROBLEMS SOLVED BY THIS NSD
* Applications that use NetWare routines from the NWCALLS.DLL file when
the Requester is not loaded will no longer be terminated. Instead, they
will receive the following error message: 88ff (REQUESTER NOT LOADED).
* A sending and receiving error code is now properly displayed as 8805
instead of 8905.
* Previously, if the ring broke on a Token-Ring network when the Requester
was trying to send, the Requester would hang the workstation. Now the send
process will simply time out and the Requester will return an error message.
* Occasionally, OS/2's File Manager does not properly copy a network directory
and its accompanying subdirectories. Previously, this error caused the
system to hang. Now, because of changes to the Requester, users simply
receive an error message.
* Previously, if you used the OS/2 E.EXE editor to create a new file, the
file would not save properly to your file server. An error of 899C was
returned. This problem no longer occurs.
* Child processes now close correctly when using Named Pipes.
* The installation program, INSTALL.EXE, will now install on Extended
Edition OS/2 when IBM NetBIOS is running. This was only a problem on the
Extended Edition of OS/2.
* Previously, if a Named Pipes server was a slower system than a Named Pipes
client connected to it, performance was very poor. Performance has been
improved in this situation.
* A new configuration option, called "DisplayHardErrors," has been added to
the NET.CFG file. This option allows programs to keep running without
interaction when a hard error is displayed. This is specifically for sites
with unattended workstations. The option has the following syntax:
displayharderrors no
To display error messages, simply leave this line out of your NET.CFG file.
* In certain circumstances, a NetWare server specified with lower-case
letters in a UNC path would not be recognized. This problem has been solved.
* The CMGRLAN.SYS driver replaces the TOKENEE.SYS driver. CMGRLAN.SYS works
with IBM Ethernet, IBM PC, and Token-Ring networks using Extended Edition
Communications Manager. If you are running OS/2 Extended Edition, you should
use this new driver. For instructions on using CMGRLAN, please read the
READCMGR.TXT file in the same location as this file.
