This is the README file for UDEF.EXE which contains USERDEF.EXE Version 3.56 which replaces USERDEF.EXE v3.50 that ships with NNS v1.0 for NetWare v2.15C and above and NetWare v3.x. The following files are included for this revision: USERDEF.EXE 200489 02-26-93 9:11a UDEF.TXT this file Purpose: 1) USERDEF.EXE Version 3.56 supports NCP Packet Signature. 2) With USERDEF.EXE v3.54 and earlier the following sequence will cause a "run-time R6001 -null pointer assignment" error to occur when you have more than 50 groups defined in the bindery. Load USERDEF.EXE select Edit/View Templates, select a template from the list, then select View Parameters. It is possible that the border of the template parameter screen will show some corruption. When you exit USERDEF.EXE you will get the above mentioned run-time error. USERDEF.EXE Version 3.56 fixes this problem. 3) When you enter the parameter screen USERDEF.EXE builds a 50 x 40 array and reads in the groups from the bindery. When more than 50 groups exist the array is over run which causes the null pointer assignment. USERDEF.EXE v3.56 creates an array that is 250 x 40. To install this utility: 1) Flag USERDEF.EXE as SRW (Shareable Read Write) in the PUBLIC directory. 2) Rename USERDEF.EXE to USERDEF.OLD in the PUBLIC directory for backup purposes. 3) Copy USERDEF.EXE to the PUBLIC directory. 4) Flag the new copy of USERDEF.EXE back to SRO (Shareable Read-Only). ***************************************************************** DISCLAIMER Novell, Inc. makes no representations or warranties with respect to any NetWare software, and specifically disclaims any express or implied warranties of merchantability, title, or fitness for a particular purpose.
