                        NetWare Requester for OS/2 V1.3

This is a Novell Service Diskette (NSD).  It solves minor problems found in 
the NetWare Requester for OS/2 version 1.3 software.  This NSD is available on 
NetWire and to subscribers of the NetWare UpDate program.  If other NSDs are 
needed, they will be available through the same channels. 

INSTALLING THE NSD

Step 1   Boot the workstation with OS/2 and open an "OS/2 Window" or 
         "OS/2 Full Screen." The command line prompt appears.  NOTE: You can 
         press F1 or click the "Help" button for help during this procedure. 

Step 2   Insert the NSD diskette into drive A, change to drive A, and type 
         the following:

         NSDINSTL <Enter>
                  
         NOTE:  If you are running NSDINSTL from a diskette, you will need to
                      give the diskette a volume label of NSD.
         
          An installation window appears.

Step 3   If you originally installed the NetWare Requester in the default 
         C:\NETWARE directory, skip to the next step.  If you installed the 
         Requester in another location, click the "Specify directories" 
         button, type in the location(s), and click the "OK" button.

Step 4   Click the "Copy program files" button; then click the "Start" button. 
         The NSD files are copied to your hard disk.  Click the "OK" button on 
         the "Installation complete" message. 

Step 5   Click the "Exit" button.  Note that you must reboot for the changes
         to take effect. 
                  


PROBLEMS SOLVED BY THIS NSD

* Applications that use NetWare routines from the NWCALLS.DLL file when 
the Requester is not loaded will no longer be terminated.  Instead, they 
will receive the following error message:  88ff (REQUESTER NOT LOADED). 

* A sending and receiving error code is now properly displayed as 8805
instead of 8905. 

* Previously, if the ring broke on a Token-Ring network when the Requester 
was trying to send, the Requester would hang the workstation.  Now the send 
process will simply time out and the Requester will return an error message. 

* Occasionally, OS/2's File Manager does not properly copy a network directory
and its accompanying subdirectories.  Previously, this error caused the 
system to hang.  Now, because of changes to the Requester, users simply 
receive an error message. 

* Previously, if you used the OS/2 E.EXE editor to create a new file, the 
file would not save properly to your file server.  An error of 899C was 
returned.  This problem no longer occurs. 

* Child processes now close correctly when using Named Pipes. 
 
* The installation program, INSTALL.EXE, will now install on Extended 
Edition OS/2 when IBM NetBIOS is running.  This was only a problem on the 
Extended Edition of OS/2. 

* Previously, if a Named Pipes server was a slower system than a Named Pipes 
client connected to it, performance was very poor.  Performance has been 
improved in this situation. 

* A new configuration option, called "DisplayHardErrors," has been added to 
the NET.CFG file.  This option allows programs to keep running without 
interaction when a hard error is displayed. This is specifically for sites 
with unattended workstations.  The option has the following syntax:

         displayharderrors no 

To display error messages, simply leave this line out of your NET.CFG file. 

* In certain circumstances, a NetWare server specified with lower-case 
letters in a UNC path would not be recognized.  This problem has been solved. 

* The CMGRLAN.SYS driver replaces the TOKENEE.SYS driver.  CMGRLAN.SYS works 
with IBM Ethernet, IBM PC, and Token-Ring networks using Extended Edition 
Communications Manager. If you are running OS/2 Extended Edition, you should 
use this new driver.  For instructions on using CMGRLAN, please read the 
READCMGR.TXT file in the same location as this file.
