THIS FILE SHOWS A HISTORY OF CHANGES TO NOVELL FILES - REGARDING NETWARE - ON NETWIRE BEGINNING JANUARY 1991. CHANGES ARE MADE IN THE FORM OF UPDATES AND UPLOADS. UPDATES ARE CHANGES TO NOVELL FILES ALREADY ON NETWIRE; IN THESE CASES, THE OLD VERSION OF THE FILE IS REPLACED BY A TEXT FILE STATING THAT A NEWER FILE CAN BE FOUND IN LIBRARY 16 (Novell, New Uploads). UPLOADS ARE NEWLY UPLOADED FILES WHICH ARE PLACED IN LIBRARY 16. ========================================================================== October 15, 1991 UPLOAD PAUDFX.ZIP - This fix file is intended for v2.15 and patches the OS .obj files so that they will record correct numbers in net$acct.dat for disk storage. The symptoms of this problem can be seen if the user runs PAUDIT and calculates the amount of space a user is using on the hard drive and compares it to the amount of space recorded in SYSCON (under OTHER INFORMATION). The two amounts will disagree. MOUNTR.ZIP - This patch is intended for NetWare 2.15c and corrects problems mounting large removable drives. UNPS2.ZIP - UNPS2FIX is a utility that reverses the changes made to the partition table of an IBM PS/2 Model 50 or 60 using an MFM drive. FILEHD.ZIP - This patch corrects a problem with NetWare 2.15c and the OS/2 requestor.

In v2.2 and v3.11, the dedicated real-mode external router does not have a PS/2 flag variable for drivers that require the PS/2 flag. This flag is set if the machine is microchannel so that the driver polling the flag can see if it needs to read the POS registers on the microchannel machine for the board settings. If the flag is clear then the machine must be ISA bus. Uploaded to lib 16. =========================================================================== October 8, 1991 UPLOAD UPS22.ZIP - This file contains a fix that is intended for NetWare 286 v2.2 (5, 10, 50, 100 users).
