SYMPTOM
- The updated VLM files fix problems with critical errors (int
24). Applications developed with Visual Basic and Quick Basic
expect the registers to be setup differently, so a change was
made to accommodate this difference.
The symptoms are as follows: When the VLM Client generates an
interrupt 24, applications developed under Visual Basic and
Quick basic will cause the workstation to enter an infinite
loop, or hang. Modifications have been made to alleviate this
problem.
- The updated VLM files fix problems with ErrorMode. Dos errors
were being returned instead of NetWare errors. NetWare
errors are now returned.
- The updated VLM files fix a problem where the error
"insufficient disk space" is displayed at the workstation
when there is disk space available.
- The updated VLM files fix problems with temporary drives.
- The updated IPXODI.COM corrects a problem where workstations
may randomly hang when using the LSL.COM, MLIDs (NE2000.COM),
and IPXODI.COM currently in VLMUP1.EXE
SOLUTION
If you are experiencing any of the problems listed above
install the files provided in VLMFX1.EXE.
