SYMPTOMS:

Pagemaker 5.0 returns an error "A network error was detected.  Please
verify you are properly logged in..." when trying to load on a
Personal Netware workstation.  It is a Personal Netware only
enviroment with no other Novell Netware connectivity.  Pagemaker is
installed locally and NOT being ran across the PNW network.  

If VLMs are removed from memory, Pagemaker 5.0 returns an error "A
copy of Pagemaker with network ID XXXX is already in use.  You can
restart Pagemaker once the other user quits their copy...."  

The above symptoms are seen with the Pagemaker single-user version
and also 5-user versions.

CAUSES:

The issue resides between Pagemaker v5.0 and Netware.drv.  For
Personal NetWare Windows functionality, modifications are made to the
SYSTEM.INI; under [BOOT] the network= line is set to
network=netware.drv. Upon loading, Pagemaker checks to see if a
Novell Network present, and if found (through NetWare.drv) a NCP OPEN
SEMAPHORE call is made.  The NCP OPEN SEMAPHORE is supported on
Novell NetWare bindery based 2.X and 3.X servers only.  PNW is not a
bindery based Novell Network and does not provide bindery emulation
functionality.

SOLUTIONS:

Pagemaker v5.0 will not work in a Personal Netware only environment. 
PNW does not support the NCP OPEN SEMAPHORE call.  

If the network environment includes PNW and other Novell Netware
bindery based 2.X or 3.X servers which the user attaches, Pagemaker
will load without the above mentioned errors.

If Netware.drv is removed from the network= line, under [Boot] in
SYSTEM.INI, Pagemaker will load but user will not have PNW
functionality in Windows.

NOTE:
Adobe, who purchased Aldus Pagemaker, has addressed the compatiblity
isuue with Pagemaker v6.0.  Pagemaker v6.0 will work in a Personal
NetWare only enviroment.
