We have installed win 3.1 on Novell 3.11 in the following manner


setup /a to copy all windows files onto the fileserver and uncompress them

setup /n to create the user/machine specific win.ini etc. files and store them
on the fileserver also, but  in user specific directories.


QUESTION:   When a user logs on to a machine that they ordinarily do not 
(non-normal log on machine)  Windows crashes, as the machine expects 
its (its normal log onner's) ini files but gets the visitor log onner's ini 
files.  This crash cause makes sense, but is there some kind of workaround ?

Is there an elegant solution where all files are still on the server ?

And secondly, is there a good FTP site for NOVELL/Windows LAN stuff ?


Thanks, ERIC SEAN WEBBER    ewebber@access.digex.com

Hi,
	I'm looking for something called the Windows Driver Library. According
to the docs with Windows 3.1 it should be available on Compuserve and the like.
I need it for a print driver for an Epson laser printer.  Could someone point me
to this file on Compuserve?  I don't have access to ftp.  Or, if it's not too
large could it be mailed?  The docs gave me the impression that this is publicly
available without cost through these services (like Compuserve is cheap!), but
MS wants $20 to mail a copy of it.

	Thanks in advance.

Date: 22 Jan 93 20:37:04 GMT
Organization: University of California, Santa Cruz

To run Windows for Workgroups, Novell IPX, and TCP together, you need the
WINQVT/NET package and the DIS_PKT9 driver (from wuarchive.wustl.edu or
other mirror site: windows3/QVTNET31.ZIP and pktdrvr/DIS_PKT9.ZIP).  Then you
need to make some changes to your configuration files.  The examples that
follow assume that you have installed WFW with IPX and that everything is
working on your system.

Here are config.sys, autoexec.bat, and protocol.ini changes needed to run
tcp on top of the windows for workgroups ndis driver.  The lines you will
need to add begin with a "*" -- don't actually add the "*".  Your files may
have a different card driver than ne2000 and you will need to replace
"MS$NE2CLONE" in the `bindings=MS$NE2CLONE` line with the label for your 
card.  Simply copy the "BINDINGS=XXXX" line from the [MS$IPX] section.
Good luck.

EXPLANATION FROM uSOFT.

The answer is basically that you will not be able run PDIPX, but you should
be able to get MSIPX and QVT/Net working together fine.  Right now your
protocol stacks look something like:
+-------+----------+
|PDIPX  | QVT's TCP|
+-------+----------+
|Packet Card Driver|
+------------------+
With WFW they would look like:
+--------+-----------+----------+
|NetBEUI | MSIPX.COM | QVT's TCP|
|vnb.386 | MSIPX.SYS | DIS_PKT  |
+--------+-----------+----------+
|      NDIS Card Driver         |
+-------------------------------+

With WFW you get all the pieces above except DIS_PKT which is a part of
the Clarkson distribution.  It provides a packet driver interface on the
top but sits on top of NDIS instead of a real card.

None of this is "officially" supported by Microsoft, but I'm certain it
will work.  If you run into trouble, with it give me a shout.

This has everything to do with it :)  If it's not in /etc/ttys, init
doesn't spawn a getty for it.  

The basic fact is that if it's in getty, one would expect that it
should be able to receive logons.  However, in many cases (like mine)
that's not always true.  I want it to accept logins sometimes, and
other times not.  Like if I'm at school, I like having the modem pick
up, but when I'm at home, sometimes I'm expecting a call.

So I guess what MWC did was logical in one way, but not very flexible
the other way.

Really?  I use Ckermit all the time with an RS6000 at school.  I've never
had any problems, and I set the packet size to 4096 at 9600bps and I'm
running at 7E1 (the darn modems are shared with the mainframe that likes
older style connections).

Maybe your com ports are set up wrong or something?  Or are you running
out of memory?  That could do it too.  If Ckermit decides to allocate
buffers *after* a transfer starts, there might be enough memory to run
it, but not do a transfer.

I remember some memory problems with Ckermit if news was being unspooled
while I had it running.  It seems when you are on-line Ckermit takes up
more memory than if you are in "command mode".  I had 2 megs of memory
at the time.  With 8 megs now I don't have that problem.

Try running it in multi-user mode, but with only one login (the one
using Ckermit) going, and as few other processes as possible.  I bet
it's a memory problem (i.e., you don't have enough).

Stop me if you've done this before...

What I want to do, while I'm waiting for a DOS emulator, is to take a
DOS executable file (.exe or .com), put it into assembly (I have a
program that does this flawlessly - cracker.exe!!!), de-compile it
into C source code, and port it over to Coherent.  It seems to me that
I had seen programs that took executables and decompiled them into
C source automagically and inefficiently, but I haven't seen any
advertised lately.  If no one knows of such an animal, then does anyone
know of any good documents on the 'as' assembler for either Coherent or
Unix so I can attempt to convert the 386/486 assembly source to 'as'
assembly, assemble it, and call it from a C program?

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks,
Joe Faurote

Maybe I'm slow (my wife thinks so), but wouldn't it just be faster to rewrite
the software to work under Coh in the first place?  Better still, create the
code under Coh, and port it to DOS.  

I suspect that using your approach to port anything nontrivial (e.g., Wordperf.,
Lotus, Wing Commander) would take from now until sometime around the end of
the universe.
