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 the L11G01.EXE file. (Before applying
     files in the FIELDTST subdirectory, read FIELDTST.TXT.)

     BEGRIFFE

     Fehlerkorrekturdatei:

          Eine Datei, die die Erweiterung .PAT aufweist und die an einem
          Programm vorgenommenen nderungen definiert.

     Zieldatei:

          Eine Datei, die die Erweiterung .EXE aufweist und mit Hilfe einer
          Fehlerkorrekturdatei modifiziert wird.

     UPATCH:

          Universal Update Program (Universales Aktualisierungsprogramm), ein
          Programm, das die Zieldateien korrigiert.

          Hinweis:  UPATCH.EXE wird mit NetWare Lite 1.1 und mit dem
          Fehlerkorrektursatz von Lite 1.1 geliefert.
     ***********************************************************

     ALLGEMEINES

     Es ist nur eine einzige Diskette erforderlich, um alle im Netzwerk
     vorhandenen Kopien des Programms NetWare Lite zu korrigieren. Sie
     bentigen nicht eine Diskette fr jede einzelne Kopie des Programms
     NetWare Lite.

     Vor Ausfhrung des Programms UPATCH sollten Sicherungskopien der Dateien
     angelegt werden. Nehmen Sie keine Fehlerkorrekturen in den Programm- und
     Treiberdateien auf den Originaldisketten von NetWare Lite vor.

     Wenn das Programm NetWare Lite auf der Festplatte eines Rechners
     installiert ist, befinden sich die zu korrigierenden Dateien im
     Verzeichnis C:\NWLITE.

     Wenn ein Rechner nicht ber eine eigene Festplatte verfgt, befinden sich
     die zu korrigierenden Dateien auf der Diskette in der Arbeitsstation, die
     NetWare Lite Datei CLIENT.EXE enthlt.

     Nehmen Sie die Fehlerkorrekturen in allen im Netzwerk befindlichen Kopien
     von NetWare Lite (alle Server und Clienten) mit Hilfe des Programms
     UPATCH vor, um eine einheitliche Funktionsweise des Netzwerks zu
     gewhrleisten.  Falls eine in einem Server oder Clienten vorhandene
     Programmkopie nicht korrigiert wird,  wird diese weiterhin das
     unberechenbare Verhalten aufweisen, das die Fehlerkorrekturdatei
     verbessern soll.

     Lesen Sie sich den Abschnitt des vorliegenden Dokuments, der sich auf die
     jeweilige Fehlerkorrekturdatei bezieht, um ihre Funktion kennenzulernen. 
     Die einzelnen Abschnitte erlutern den Anwendungsbereich, das Datum, die
     Prfsummen und den Wirkungsbereich der Fehlerkorrektur sowie die Symptome
     des jeweils vor der Fehlerkorrektur aufgetretenen Problems.

     Die Fehlerkorrekturdateien knnen mit Hilfe des Programms UPATCH vor oder
     nach Ausfhrung von NetWare Lite angewendet werden, jedoch werden die
     nderungen nur nach Neustart des Computers und Laden der korrigierten
     Dateien im Speicher wirksam.

     GETATRIB.PAT - NetWare Lite Client get file attribute fix patch.

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:  Running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NetWare
               Lite captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the "Can't
               print to LPT1" message.

     Symptoms: Quicken printing fails with the message "Can't print to LPT1." 
               This also fixes the problem with getting file attributes across
               the network.  The problem was with OPENDEV.PAT.

     *************************************************************

     CLOSEFIL.PAT - NetWare Lite 1.1 Server close file handles fix patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:  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.

     Symptoms: Files are left open on the server when a client reboots.

     *************************************************************
     LPTSTAT.PAT -  NetWare Lite 1.1 Server LPT printer status fix patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:  Print jobs in NetWare Lite are being sent to a printer that has
               been taken off line or powered off.  The jobs are being lost.

     Symptoms: Print jobs are being lost when the printer has been powered off
               or taken off line.

     *************************************************************

     RECONFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client reconnect patch.

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:  The reconnection between server and client fails to occur 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.

     Symptoms: 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 error messages "Redirect device -- Too many open files." or
               "Write file -- Access denied." will be displayed and the
               command will fail.

     *************************************************************

     CLPRINTR.PAT - NetWare Lite Client printer corruption fix patch.

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:  Running certain applications on a client/server with a local
               printer will produce printer output that has been corrupted.

     Symptoms: Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite will
               be corrupted.

     *************************************************************

     VXDFIX.PAT -   NetWare Lite 1.1 Server windows VXDFIX patch version 2.0.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:  When automatically-loading applications with Windows 3.1 and
               running NetWare Lite, the server will not respond until some of
               the automatically-loaded applications are closed.

     Symptoms: The NetWare Lite server will appear to hang when loading
               applications in Windows startup box.

     *************************************************************

     INT28FIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client int 28 ISR patch version 2.0

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:  Applications doing background printing on a NetWare Lite
               server/client where printing is captured to a printer connected
               locally may experience a server lock up.  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.

     Symptoms: You may have this problem if you are having problems running an
               application that performs background printing on a
               server/client with a printer connected locally and the station
               locks.  Applications that exhibits this problem but not limited
               to are FoxPro, Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, Peachtree,
               Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol and Red Wing.

     *************************************************************

     VIDEOFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite 1.1 Server video popup window fix patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:  When using the IBM Valuepoint models 425sx or 433dx, pressing
               the <Ctrl>+<Alt> keys to reboot the server or when a popup
               printer status screen is being displayed, the monitor will
               switch to 40 column mode.

     Symptoms: The video screen switches to 40 column mode when using IBM
               Valuepoint models 425sx or 433dx.

     DOS6CDS.PAT -  NetWare Lite Client MS DOS 6.0 Current Directory 
                    Structure (CDS) patch, German version.

     File:          CLIENT.EXE
     Checksums:     470, 47E, 5FE, 367, 580, 240, 47E, 5FE

     Problem:       MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive
                    Parameter Block (DPB) is used in the Current Directory
                    Structure (CDS).  The Client was setting a drive status to
                    "valid physical drive" after using the drive as a network
                    drive.

     Symptoms:      With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistent drives get
                    set to valid physical drives after running the NET
                    utility.
     ***********************************************************

     RENFIX.PAT -   NetWare Lite 1.1 German Server rename file fix patch.

     File:          SERVER.EXE
     Checksums:     3CA, 512, A31, 2C7, 387, 215, 332, A31

     Problem:       When using the DOS rename file command to rename a file on
                    a NetWare Lite mapped drive, the following conditions will
                    cause the rename to fail with the message "PATH NOT
                    FOUND":

                    1.   The file must be located at the root directory.

                    2.   The rename command must use a DOS wildcard character.

                         Example:  rename docfile.doc *.sav

     Symptoms:      The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite drive
                    with the message "PATH NOT FOUND."
     ***********************************************************

     INT17FIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client int 17 ISR patch, German version.

     File:          CLIENT.EXE
     Checksums:     61F, 323, 4F4, 13A, 323

     Problem:       Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17
                    function 0 to send characters to be printed under NetWare
                    Lite may experience character loss on the print job.  The
                    character loss happens when 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. The problem is
                    caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
                    failed to preserve the contents of AL.

     Symptoms:      When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may
                    experience corruption on their print job under the
                    conditions described above.
     ***********************************************************

     WINPOPUP.PAT - NetWare Lite 1.1 Server Windows LPT printer status fix
                    patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:  Using Windows with a super VGA driver causes Windows to hang
               when sending a print job to a printer that has been taken
               offline.

               NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of
               the printer.  The popup message box causes Windows to hang.

     Symptoms: Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows, if
               Windows is running in a super VGA mode such as 8514.
