TECHNICAL BULLETIN
Bulletin #1-258
Date: December 6, 1989
Updated NetWare Utilities
Several NetWare utilities have been updated. The following list explains the
limitations caused by the utilities and identifies the updated files' sizes
and dates. These files are available on NetWire. NetWare version 2.15
(revision C) also contains the updated files.
NVER
When NVER was used on an 8088 workstation (such as the IBM PS/2
model 25, the IBM PC, PC/XT, or any other IBM PC-compatible
machine), the workstation would hang. This limitation did not
exist on 80286 and 80386 machines. The new NVER.EXE file has this
limitation repaired. It is dated 6/15/89 and is 13,805 bytes.
FCONSOLE
A console operator with READ, OPEN, and SEARCH rights in a given
directory could not see any files from within FCONSOLE.EXE. This
has been fixed. The new FCONSOLE.EXE file is dated 5/19/89 and
is 214,380 bytes.
NINSTALL
Previous versions of NINSTALL.EXE (NetWare v2.1 through v2.15
revision A) placed incorrect printer information on the network
disk when even parity was selected. The new NINSTALL utility,
explained in Technical Bulletin #1-253, contains this fix.
The new file is dated 10/4/89 and is 145,385 bytes.
If you have previously installed a printer and defined it to use
even parity, you must remove that COM port as a network device
using the "Printer Maintenance" option in NETGEN.EXE. After
removing the port, you can redefine the COM port with even parity.
You must replace the old NINSTALL.EXE file with the new file before
you redefine the COM port.
LOGIN
If the MACHINE_NAME variable was used in the login script on a
computer running DOS 4.0, the "DOS 3.1 or greater is required"
error would occur. This limitation has been fixed.
The DOS command BREAK OFF was not properly supported in previous
versions of the login script. This is now supported in the new
login utility.
The new LOGIN.EXE utility is dated 8/15/89 and is 57,143 bytes.
IPX.OBJ, NET2.COM, NET3.COM, NET4.COM
o When a user attempted to rename a directory using FILER, the
"file not found" error occurred. Changes to the shell files
corrected this.
o When a user attempted to rename a file that another user had opened,
the "file not found" error occurred. The error message has been
changed to "access denied."
o The dates and file sizes of the new shell files are as follows:
IPX.OBJ 8/14/89 17,473 bytes
NET2.COM 8/14/89 38,283 bytes
NET3.COM 8/14/89 41,733 bytes
NET4.COM 8/14/89 42,080 bytes
SESSION
SESSION reported incorrect user login times. The new SESSION.EXE
file now reports the correct information. The new file is dated
6/29/89 and is 92,415 bytes.
NCOPY
When a Macintosh file was copied from one area to another with
NCOPY, the date created, last modified, and last accessed dates
were changed to indicate the date the file was copied. This
information was reflected in the get info screen on the Macintosh.
The new NCOPY utility will no longer change these dates. The new
NCOPY.EXE file is dated 8/2/89 and is 24,626 bytes.
DISK CONTROLLER
The disk controller selection labeled "IBM AT HARD DISK
CONTROLLER OR COMPATIBLE" has been changed to "Industry
Standard (ISA or AT Compatible) Disk Controller."
Note:
Since the ISA disk driver that comes with revision C is
incompatible with earlier revisions of NetWare v2.15, the
driver has not been placed on NetWire.
