SYMPTOMS
1. Use of DOS wildcard characters ('*' and '?') would generate
the error "*.* does not exist". (LPR.EXE)
2. Users unable to enter name and password in VT220 8 Bit
emulation mode. (TNVT220.EXE) 3. Opening a TNVT220 session,
then using ALT-T to get to the TNVT220 command mode, then
entering an ASCII command, froze the TNVT220 session.
(TNVT220.EXE)
4. Margin Bell causing Chips and Technology 4021 chipset to
lock up. (TNVT220.EXE)

changed. (TNVT220.EXE & TELAPI.EXE)
6. TNV220 hanging after the DOS command MODE.COM COMx:.
(TNVT220.EXE & TELAPI.EXE)
7. A call to TELCHECK_API did not return the version number in
the BX register. (TELAPI.EXE)

(TELAPI.EXE)
9. "Error: Session setup failed, check terminal type."
(XPC.EXE)
10. Login not displaying in Verbose Mode. (FTP.EXE)
11. Error "Read error on stdio socket: Connection reset by
peer" at completion of RSH commands. (RSH.EXE) 12. Error
"Read error on stdio socket: Bad file number" at completion of
RSH commands. (RSH.EXE)

14. Zero length files left behind when a Put or Get request
failed. (FTP.EXE)
15. Use of a Monochrome Display Adapter resulted in a screen

Symptoms in a VAX/VMS Environment

is piped to REXEC.
2. Error "invalid filename format" returned when issuing a FTP
"mget" to a host.
NEW FEATURES
1. XPC.EXE modified to improved performance for client screen
updates.
2. TNVT220.EXE modified so that DECCOLM (Reset) -- CSI ? 3 l or
ESC £ ? 3 l --clears the screen after resetting the terminal
width from 132 characters down to 80 characters.
3. RCP now provides the error codes:
1 for not OK (FAILURE).
0 for OK (SUCCESS).
-1 for OK but there are files with non-DOS names (partial
success).
4. RPR & LPR now support the use of DOS wildcard characters
('*' and '?').
5. RSH will now look for any random open source port.
6. In order to improve compatibility with other products,
XPC.EXE now uses the software timer interrupt (INT 1Ch) instead
of the hardware timer interrupt (INT 08h).
7. The session id of 01H will be used instead of 00H for
TELAPI.

install these two files and retain the "old and less complete"
national error messages.
3. Copy the files in LWP42A into the proper product \NET\BIN
directory (C:\NET\BIN, or server/volume:NET\BIN).
