FL: NETWARE V2.1 - NETWARE CLIENT FOR OS/2 PATCH R210FT
---------------------------------------------------------------
This package is made up of the following files:
R210FT.DOC - This document
R210FT.EXE - Binary self-extracting file.
---------------------------------------------------------------
NOVELL PRODUCT and VERSION: NetWare Client for OS/2 2.10
ABSTRACT:
These patches have not been submitted to Novell system test.
THE FUTURE HOME FOR R210FT.EXE WILL BE NOVLIB/05. ALL USERS
SHOULD REFER TO THIS LIBRARY FOR FUTURE RELEASES. Patched
NetWare OS/2 utilities are no longer contained in this file. A
hybrid set of OS/2 utilities from v3.12 NetWare can be found in
OS2UTA.EXE & OS2UTB.EXE, NetWare v3.11 users should consider
these utilites. NetWare v3.x & v4.x users can get OS2UTP.EXE
which contains the latest patched OS/2 utilities. These files
are found in NOVLIB/06.

SYMPTOM
NETX.EXE would not allow access to modify (write) files when
File Scan rights had been revoked.
SOLUTION
Apply NETX.EXE, 85226 bytes, 10-18-94.
SYMPTOM
NETX.EXE displays all drives that are not NetWare drives, as
Local drives, regardless of whether they are local or mapped by
another requester ( IBM's Lan Requester).
SYMPTOM
Netx.exe will not load when using a VMB (Virtual Boot Machine)
if the Dos version is greater than v6.00.
SOLUTION
Apply NETX.EXE, 83869 bytes, 08-05-94.
SYMPTOM
Some DOS applications (ie Norton's SI.EXE) when executed so
that output is redirected to a file on the network would give
garbage in the output file. (ie. SI > F:\TEST.TXT)
SOLUTION
Apply NETX.EXE, 83869 bytes, 6-10-94.
SYMPTOM
The DOS calls "FindFirstFile" and "FindNextFile" do not work
properly in a Private DOS session (VDM). The problem occurs
when trying to do DOS find file calls inside a loop of DOS find
files when the files are on different drives (one network, one
local). The same program, modified for the same drive (both
network or both local), works correctly.
SOLUTION
Apply NETX.EXE, 83885 bytes, 6-6-94.
SYMPTOM
SPX applications in VDMs would lose connections.
SYMPTOM
When running with Pentium or other SL-Enhanced processors IPX
activity would occur even when interrupts had been disabled for
the VDM.
SOLUTION
Apply VIPX.SYS, 53248 bytes, 11-08-94.
Apply DOSVIPX.SYS, 10560 bytes, 11-08-94.
SYMPTOM
Slower than expected performance when accessing network
resources.
SOLUTION
Apply NWREW.SYS, 31764 bytes, 10-28-94.
SYMPTOM
Network drives cannot be accessed in Global VDMs after the
workstation is RPL booted.
SOLUTION
Apply NWREQ.SYS, 31764 bytes, 7-21-94.
SYMPTOM
Error SYS1039 and SYS1040 would occur and connection would be
lost with Packet Burst enabled or if using large packet size
(4202). This would occur when using a remote link product (
Lan Distance from IBM) and the NetWare Client Kit v2.10.
SOLUTION
Apply NWREQ.SYS, 31780 bytes, 7-01-94 and PBURST.EXE From
NOVLIB/05 .
SYMPTOM
When logging into a server that is not a preferred server and
then loading NWTools, the workstation will be logged out of the
server it was just logged into.
SOLUTION
Apply NWREQ.SYS, 31780 bytes, 7-01-94
SYMPTOM
Customer running IBM Lan Requester v3.0 and NetWare Requester
v2.10. Customer captures or redirects LPT1 to a NetWare Queue
and LPT2 to a Lan Server Queue. Then Executes "ENDCAP /ALL".
This produces the following Trap in NWREQ.SYS
TRAP D NWREQ:CGROUP: DHL_DecrementFlobalLocks:
ip=3730, cmp WORD ptr es:£01fe],+00 es=0 therefore Invalid.
SOLUTION
Apply NWREQ.SYS, 31380 bytes, 5-26-94.
SYMPTOM
Receiving errors and a loss of connection when crossing a
router when the NetWare Client is using LIP and Packet Burst.
After they boot up the OS/2 workstation and run login, the
following errors occur during the login process:
"REQ1040: Requester timed out waiting for reply from server
<servername>"
"SYS2070: A program in this session encountered a problem and
cannot continue.
(more info... The system could not demand load the
application's segment. Capture is in error. For additional
details type HELP SYS59244559.)" "LOGIN-4.07 760: The
utility could not execute the program CAPTURE. The program
was not found."
SOLUTION
Apply NWREQ.SYS, 31380 bytes, 5-26-94 and NWIFS.IFS, 40036
bytes, 5-26-94.
SYMPTOM
Previous revisions of NWIFS handled a trailing DBCS character
containing the value 0x5C incorrectly. It assumed that the
trailing byte was a directory separator and would append a '*'
to the name in DosFindFirst.
Previous revisions of NWIFS would send 512 bytes of data on
each DosFindNext request, causing performance problems on wide-
area networks.
Revisions of NWIFS since 6-14-94 fixed a problem where file
handles inherited by a child process were prematurely closed if
the parent process exits before the child. Unfortunately, file
locks would not be implicitly released if the owning process
closed the file and another process had the same file open.
This change has been removed from the IFS.
SOLUTION
Apply NWIFS.IFS, 40196 bytes, 10-6-94.
SYMPTOM
Applications that do file and record locking may appear to run
slower than expected.
CAUSE
The IFS was failing to reset a lock semiphore when it received
a failed condition on a file lock attempt.
SOLUTION
Apply NWIFS.IFS, 40084 bytes, 08-31-94.
SYMPTOM
The NWIFS.IFS would match search queries even on files which do
not contain attributes required by the search. For instance,
specifying "directories-only" in the REXX function SysFileTree
did not exclude ordinary files from the list.
SYMPTOM
NWIFS.IFS would prematurely close file handles inherited by a
child process when the parent process exits. For instance,
redirecting a child process's output to a file and calling the
'C' function execv() would cause the child process to get an
invalid file handle error because the parent process had
exited.
SOLUTION
Apply NWIFS.IFS, 40084 bytes, 6-17-94.
SYMPTOM
The first network drive (default L:) is not available until the
PMSHELL.EXE is loaded.
CAUSE
NWDAEMON.EXE was changed to be a PM application and the first
network drive was not made available until PMSHELL.EXE loads.
SOLUTION
Apply NWDAEMON.EXE, 36269 bytes, 5-26-94.
SYMPTOM
SPX applications would hang.
CAUSE
Previous revisions of SPX did not check for an illegal
datastream type in an ECB submitted to SendSequencedPacket().
SPX now returns the SPX_BAD_PACKET error code in this
situation.
SYMPTOM
SPX was sending duplicate data frames on wide area or slower
networks, the SPX parameter SEND TIMEOUT used in the NET.CFG
did not function.
CAUSE
The SEND TIMEOUT parameter in NET.CFG now defaults to 500
milliseconds, with a minimum of 100 msec and a maximum of 6000
msec. This is added to the round trip time and averaged with
the current retry delay if no timeout occurs. When sending a
retry, the current retry delay is increased by 50% for each
retry up to a maximum of 6 seconds. Send retries are now
always dynamic. Instead of returning an A400h error without
aborting the connection, a send timeout now returns A3EDh
(connection aborted) and aborts the connection.
SOLUTION
Apply SPX.SYS, 15540 bytes, 09-02-94.
SYMPTOM
Named Pipes communication in a VDM would fail shortly after a
DOS open was communicated to the Named Pipe server.
SOLUTION
Apply NMPIPE.SYS, 17792 bytes, 11-11-94.
SYMPTOM
VDMs on RPL (Remote Program Load) workstations will only show
588k bytes of available memory.
CAUSE
MINI.IFS was allocating real memory and not releasing it.
SOLUTION
Apply MINI.IFS, 8673 bytes, 6-23-94. The MINI.IFS is used ONLY
with Remote Program Load.
SYMPTOM
WINOS2 SPX Database client application "Forest & Trees" would
get sys3176 errors after multiple queries. NWIPXSPX.DLL was
not freeing resources properly. In WINOS2 session if an attempt
was made to make an SPX connection to a database server that
was not available the WINOS2 session would hang.
SOLUTION
Apply NWIPXSPX DLL, 38736 bytes, 6-21-94.
SYMPTOM
1. Error "NWTOOLS-4.10-62 : The send command has failed"
occurs if you try to send a message to more that 64 users.
2. Nwtools will setup or capture ports LPT4-LPT9, but will not
reload or setup these ports when loading the *.NWS files.
SOLUTION
Apply NWTOOLS.EXE 565909 bytes, 7-05-94.

Installation Instructions:
* Create a directory called INSTALL╜.NEW under \NETWARE. Copy
all files into \NETWARE\INSTALL╜.NEW and reboot.
* NWIPXSPX.DLL will need to be manually copied to
C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM.
* MINI.IFS should be manually copied to the SYS:RPL2 subdir on
your NetWare server if you are using Remote Program Load.
* It is a good idea to make sure you have backups of all files
being replaced.
