Self-Extracting File Name: L11P06.EXE Revision: C Files Included Size Date Time \ L11P06.TXT (This File) COMPOPEN.PAT 1731 04-13-93 9:41a PCONSOLE.PAT 2112 09-22-92 10:59a STACKFIX.PAT 920 08-07-92 4:09p Installation Instructions: ************************************************************* ***WARNING*** DO NOT APPLY ALL THESE PATCHES, UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY NOVELL TECHNICAL SUPPORT PERSONNEL. ************************************************************* TERMS Update: A file that has a .PAT extension and defines changes to a software program. Target file: A file with an .EXE extension that is to be modified by an update. UPATCH: Universal Update Program. A program that applies updates to target files. NOTE: UPATCH.EXE is shipped with NetWare Lite 1.1 and the NetWare Lite 1.1 Upgrade kit. GENERAL INFORMATION You need only one diskette to update all copies of NetWare Lite on your NetWare Lite network. You do not need a separate diskette for each copy of NetWare Lite. Make backup copies of the files before running UPATCH. Do not update the original NetWare Lite Program and Driver diskette files. If a machine has a hard disk with NetWare Lite software, the files to be updated are in the C:\NWLITE directory. If a machine does not have a hard disk, the files to be updated are on the workstation's floppy diskette that has the NetWare Lite CLIENT.EXE. To get consistent results from the network, use UPATCH to update all copies of NetWare Lite on the network (all servers and clients). If a server or client is not updated, it will continue with the erratic behavior that the update is designed to correct. Review the section of this document that corresponds to the update to find out what the update does. Each section describes what the update will be applied to, the update date, the checksums, the problems the update corrects, and the symptoms you may see before the update is applied. You can use UPATCH to apply updates before or after running NetWare Lite; however, the changes do not take effect until the computer is rebooted and the updated files are loaded into memory. UPATCH INSTRUCTIONS To update the SERVER or CLIENT software on a hard disk, do the following: 1. Copy the .PAT files into the NWLITE directory on the C: drive. 2. To apply the update to the applicable target file, type UPATCH 3. When the DOS prompt appears, reboot the computer. The updated files will be used when they are loaded into memory. To update CLIENT software on a workstation that uses a floppy diskette, do the following: 1. Insert the diskette (w/updates) in to the A: drive. (The floppy should contain the .PAT files and UPATCH.EXE.) 2. Insert the workstation's copy of the diskette that contains CLIENT.EXE into the B: drive. Do not update the original NetWare Lite diskettes. 3. At the DOS prompt, type A: 4. Then, type the following: UPATCH B:CLIENT.EXE 5. Follow the instructions on the screen. NOTE: The updates are applied to the CLIENT.EXE file and the original file is retained with an .OLD file extension. If necessary, the .OLD version can be renamed and executed. 6. When the DOS prompt appears, reboot the computer. The updated CLIENT.EXE file will be used when it is loaded into memory. *********************************************************** To get the latest information on NetWare Lite updates, application compatibility, hardware compatibility, upgrades and updates, top ten support issues, NetWare Lite product information, etc., customers in the U.S. and Canada can call Novell's 24-hour automated fax service.

Symptoms: When accessing files across the network, an application generates the following message: MESSAGE File not found CAUSE FCB Opens fail on read only files. This patch inserts code that was removed from NetWare Lite 1.0 that handles FCB opens. This patch should not be used with Windows or CD-ROM disks. *********************************************************** PCONSOLE.PAT - NetWare Lite Server printer popup box patch. Target: SERVER.EXE Desc: This patch allows the popup box for printer status to be turned on or off. After the patch is applied and the popup box is turned off, the popup box will never be seen again unless the patch is applied again, the popup box is turned back on, and the server reloaded. Therefore, there is no documented way to determine the printer status. However, using ALT-SHIFT-N and selecting option 3 will give the printer status. This printer status may not always reflect the current printer status. The amount of time for the printer status to change will depend upon the error wait time defined for the network printer. Symptoms: User's desiring to turn off printer status popup boxes were unable to do so. Example: The printer is offline and the operator puts it back online. If ALT-SHIFT-N is displayed, it will take an average of 15 seconds before the display is updated properly. NOTE: This functionality is for unattended server operation, possibly where an application or a batch job that cannot be stopped that is running in the foreground. NetWare Lite is designed to inform the operator of the printer status and by applying this patch, that functionality is defeated. The printer operator, without this functionality, has no notification of printer status that will attract attention. *********************************************************** STACKFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Server stack fix patch. Target: SERVER.EXE Checksums: 558, 481, 3F0 Problem: The server switches to its DOS reentrency stack during initialization. The Norton antivirus device driver interrupts the server after initialization and does some work. The server timer interrupt then kicks in, switches to the top of the server DOS reentrency stack and corrupts the data that the server had on the stack before the timer interrupt. Symptoms: When the Norton antivirus device driver is loaded and SERVER.EXE attempts to load, the server will hang. *********************************************************** Please note: These files have been through the patch test team. �
