──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SYMPTOM
When running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NetWare Lite
captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the following message:
MESSAGE
Can't print to LPT1
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
File attributes are being received across the network.
CAUSE
A problem with OPENDEV.PAT caused the symptom.
SYMPTOM
When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite server and the
client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be
closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station
connection.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
NetWare Lite print jobs are being lost when the printer has been turned
off or taken offline.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.
SYMPTOM
When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the first commands
from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the following
messages will be displayed and the command will fail:
MESSAGE
Redirect device -- Too many open files.
or
MESSAGE
Write file -- Access denied.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE causes the reconnection between server and client to
fail when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a client to
a server that has just been rebooted. Subsequent NET CAPTURE or NET
PRINT commands from the client station will work normally.
SYMPTOM
Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite is corrupted.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused certain applications run on a client/server
with a local printer to produce printer output that has been corrupted.
SYMPTOM
The NetWare Lite server appears to hang when loading applications in
Window's startup box.
CAUSE
When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1 and running
NetWare Lite, a bug in SERVER.EXE caused the server to not respond until
some of the automatically loaded applications were closed.
SYMPTOM
When running an application that performs background printing on a
server/client with a printer connected locally, the station locks. Some
applications that exhibit this problem (not limited to) are Foxpro,
Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol, and
Red Wing.
CAUSE
A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused applications doing background printing on a
NetWare Lite server/client where printing is captured to a printer
connected locally to experience a server lock up sometimes.
The problem requires the station to be rebooted. Each time the station
is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are left on the hard
disk. If this happens enough times without running "chkdsk /f" the FAT
table will become corrupted.
SYMPTOM
When using IBM ValuePoint models 425sx or 433dx and pressing the
<Ctrl>+<Alt> keys to reboot the server or when a popup printer status
screen is being displayed, the video screen switches to 40 column mode.
CAUSE
A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the monitor to switch to the 40 column mode.
SYMPTOM
Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows if Windows is
running in a super VGA mode, such as 8514.
CAUSE
NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of the
printer. A bug in SERVER.EXE causes the popup message box to hang
Windows.
SYMPTOM
With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistent drives get set to valid
physical drives after running the NET utility.
CAUSE
MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter Block
(DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS). CLIENT.EXE was
setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as
a network drive.
SYMPTOM
The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite mapped drive with the
following message:
MESSAGE
PATH NOT FOUND
CAUSE
The file is located at the root directory.
CAUSE
The rename command uses a DOS wildcard character as shown in the
following example:
rename docfile.doc *.sav
SYMPTOM
When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may experience corruption
on their print job under the following conditions:
Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17 function 0 to send
characters to be printed under NetWare Lite,
The application makes repeated calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send
the same character to the printer without reinitializing the character to
be printed in register AL.
CAUSE
The problem is caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
failed to preserve the contents of AL.
SOLUTION
Apply the patch files included in L11I01.EXE. (Before applying files in
the FIELDTST sub-directory read FIELDTST.TXT.)

TERMINOLOGIA
Correzione:
File con estensione .PAT, che definisce alcune modifiche da
apportare ad un programma software.
File di destinazione:
File con estensione .EXE che viene modificato da una routine di
correzione.
UPATCH:
Universal Patch Program. Il programma che applica le correzioni ai
file di destinazione.
Nota: UPATCH.EXE viene fornito con NetWare Lite 1.1 e con il kit di
aggiornamento NetWare Lite 1.1.
***********************************************************
GENERALITA`
Per correggere tutte le copie di NetWare Lite installate sulla rete
NetWare Lite, basta un solo dischetto SUPPORT; non ne occorre uno diverso
per ogni copia di NetWare Lite.
Non correggere i file contenuti nei dischetti originali Program e Driver
di NetWare Lite. Prima di eseguire UPATCH, creare una copia di backup dei
file.
Se il software NetWare Lite è installato sul disco rigido della
workstation, i file da correggere si trovano nella directory C:\NWLITE.
Se il computer è privo di disco rigido, i file da correggere si trovano
sul disco floppy della workstation contenente il file CLIENT.EXE di
NetWare Lite.
Per ottenere gli stessi risultati su tutta la rete, eseguire UPATCH e
correggere tutte le copie di NetWare Lite presenti in rete (ossia tutti i
server ed i client). Gli eventuali server e client non corretti
continueranno a comportarsi in modo anomalo.
Consultare il paragrafo del presente documento relativo alla routine di
correzione che s'intende applicare. Per ogni correzione viene indicato:
il file di destinazione, la data della routine, i valori di controllo
della somma, i problemi risolvibili mediante detta correzione ed i
sintomi riscontrabili prima che venga applicata.
Le correzioni possono essere apportate con UPATCH sia prima che dopo
l'esecuzione di NetWare Lite. Notare, tuttavia, che le modifiche
diventano effettive soltanto dopo il riavvio del computer ed il
caricamento in memoria dei file corretti.
***********************************************************
ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO DI UPATCH
Correzione del software SERVER o CLIENT sul disco rigido.
1. Copiare i file .PAT (uno o più) nella directory NWLITE sull'unità
disco C.
2. Per applicare la correzione al file di destinazione appropriato,
digitare "UPATCH" e premere <Invio>.
3. Quando viene visualizzato di nuovo il prompt di DOS, riavviare il
computer. I file corretti vengono utilizzati dopo essere stati
caricati in memoria.
Correzione del software CLIENT su una workstation dotata di dischi
floppy.
1. Inserire nell'unità disco A: il dischetto con gli aggiornamenti (sul
disco floppy devono essere presenti i file .PAT e UPATCH.EXE).
2. Inserire nell'unità disco B: la copia del dischetto contenente
CLIENT.EXE, utilizzata specificamente per quella workstation. Non
correggere i dischetti NetWare Lite originali.
3. Al prompt di DOS, digitare "A:" e premere <Invio>.
4. Digitare "UPATCH B:CLIENT.EXE", premere <Invio> e seguire le
istruzioni fornite sullo schermo.
NOTA: le correzioni modificano il file CLIENT.EXE; il file originale
viene conservato con l'estensione .OLD. Se necessario, si può
cambiare nome alla versione .OLD ed eseguirla.
5 Quando viene visualizzato il prompt di DOS, riavviare il computer.
Il sistema utilizza CLIENT.EXE e lo carica in memoria.
