I don't know about actually using PSERVER.EXE but if you can use
something like PS-PRINT.  I administrate a 2.15C server and have
PS-PRINT working on it very well.  In fact, it gives me some
flexibility that Novell does not (i.e. looking at the documents before
they are printed).

-------------------
        What you mean by PF1 is the PC key NumLock. By default PF1 is assigned
to key F1, and PF2 to F2 etc, and that works well in practice. However, if
people find habits hard to change there are many TSRs available to make
NumLock a key visible to programs, and the TSRs should be very small. We
put one, Goldkey, in the Kermit collection on watsun.cc.columbia.edu, cd
kermit/a and it's another of the Public Domain items.
        Just a couple of words more on the matter. One is: NumLock is what
is says it is, the numerical lock for the keyboard, and people might well
expect it to work as such. After all there are about 50++ million PCs out
there and maybe a few hundred K VT100's. The second point is the reason
Kermit does not automatically use that key as a regular one is it requires
intercepting keyboard info below the Bios. Such interception I try to
avoid like the plague, and by so doing I let other programs operate normally.
Such other programs are keyboard helpers, and aids to the handicapped which
emulate a keyboard, mice, and even Windows. Anyway, these are things to be
aware of.
        Btw, on the topic of VTxxx terminals, another FAQ is "what about
132 columns on my Brand Wo Nose Wat EGA/VGA board?" Yikes. Well, I have the
universal solution of horizontal scrolling available in the next release
of Kermit (not 3.12 beta). This turns on when the hardware runs out of
columns.
        Got to run (got a call that a mainline NW 3.11 server just lost
all of its printers and the natives are formenting a revolt...)

Here's how we do it:
    - First give the user a "home" directory (if they don't have one
already.  We do this by creating a \ids\name where name is the login
name.  Then we map a specific drive (p: for us) to that directory in
the login script with the %login_name function.

    - Next set your paradox startup (either a batch file, or menu
system I assume) so that it looks for a configuration file (paradox.cfg
or pdoxrun.cfg if you use runtime) in the given drive.

    - If config files are found in the correct location then go ahead
and map the first search drive to this directory (this keeps Pdox from
finding other possibly bogus .cfg files).

    - Next map the appropriate program, application and data
directories.

    - Now run the Paradox program.  That's it you should be in
business.

Be sure to create the .cfg file(s) properly so they point to the
correct private directory.  This is done with the Custom script that
comes with Paradox and/or runtime, etc.

We also have a little routine that we use in our menu system that looks
for the presence/absence of configuration files for Paradox, an older
version of Paradox, or the runtime version.  It also looks for init
scripts and takes appropriate action if we don't want them used for
this particular application, etc.

I would be happy to send you the code from that part of the menu if it
will help.

I hope this info helps with your problem/question.

Subject:      Problem w/ Cabletron NIC and Windows

Oh wise Net masters:

I've got my first Cabletron E21xx NIC installed in a (don't laugh) Acma
386sx/25 MHz workstation, and it won't run Windows. If I run Windows
BEFORE I load the NIC driver, it works fine; if I try to run it after,
it hangs either on startup or immediately after (can't run anything in
Windows).

Some basics:
* Workstation has DOS 5 & Windows 3.0 running from the local
  drive, not the server.
* Network is Novell 2.15 C; connection is 10BaseT to Cabletron hub.
* NIC parms are I/O 380, H-IRQ 3, S-IRQ 60, Mem D4000:0
* BIOS is American Megatrends, Inc.

I have successfully used all of these pieces before, but not all together.

Anybody got any clues? I don't know a damn thing about this stuff, really;
I'm flying by the seat of my pants, and I' closing in on the mountainside.....

One thing that might be causing this is if there is an interrupt conflict.
If the printer works fine when you boot to DOS it's possible that your
network card might grab INT 7 first.  Check that and what interrupt you
specify for use in the printer configuration part of print server.  You may
also try using a polled port in the printer configuration instead of an
interrupt.

It is possible that Netware is looking for some sort of handshaking that is
not supported by the cable you are using, but I don't think that's likely.

HIH!

I have no solution, but we share a simmilar problem. My PS2/30s have
3c501 cards with the 3c502 PROM and they won't boot from the PROMs as
well. The local guru claims that those cards just can't boot from the
PROMS (so why do 3COM sell theose PROMS ?). My solution was replacing
the cards to W.D. cards and now it all works fine. The 3c501 cards serve
those remaining XTs and PS2/30s that have a H.D. .

Subject: Re:

The security hole left open by not having individual login scripts is this:

 * individual login scripts are stored in indivdual users' sub-directories
   in the MAIL directory.
 * in order for email to work, other users have to have "create" rights to
   other users' MAIL\ subdirectories
 * if no login script exists in a user's MAIL\ subdirectory, anyone could
   create a login script and copy it to that user's subdirectory.  The
   next time that user logs in, the "rogue" login script is executed.

Creating individual login scripts plugs the hole -- since the script file
exists, and other users have ONLY the "create" rights in someone else's
MAIL subdirectory, the rogue script cannot be copied into that directory
(since this would require deleting the real script, and other users don't
have that right).

You can plug the hole by going into SYSCON and creating a login script
for every user.  A quicker way is to create a login script (they're
just text files), name it properly (it's the same name for every user,
I just can't remember it offhand), and copy that file to every subdirectory
in the MAIL directory.  Be careful, though, not to wipe out any legit
login scripts that users may have created for themselves.  (An easy way
to ensure this is to do the copy while logged in as a mere-mortal user,
NOT the supervisor).

If you use MAKEUSER to set up new user accounts, I think there may be a
provision by which you can automatically give each new user a standard
login script.  I did something like this once, but I can't remember if
I did it via MAKEUSER or via the batch file in which I embedded MAKEUSER.

HTH!  Good luck!

Subject:      Why don't replace IPX with TCP/IP ?

Hi:

    Can anyone tell me the differences between IPX(SPX) and TCP(UDP)/IP?
The "LAN Workplace for DOS" and "NetWare NFS" want to integrate NetWare
and TCP/IP base machine. But I wonder why Novell don't replace IPX with
TCP/IP?

    I use "NetWare NFS" in our Lab. It work very well. And I use NCSA
with packet driver for our PCs. Recently I try to use ODI driver and "LAN
Workplace for DOS". Both "NetWare NFS" and "LAN Workplace for DOS" are
good products. But I cannot understand why Novell don't use TCP/IP as their
major network protocol? Are there any good reasons for Novell to insist
on using IPX(SPX)?

    Any ideas will be appreciated!

Subject:      Beginners Questions

We're setting up our first network in a lab.  20 IBM PS2 Model 30s.
That's the old guys with two floppy drives and a lowly 8086 processor!
Still, with an Ethernet LAN they should do duty for word processing,
SPSS, spreadsheets, etc.

Two questions.  What do people think of Novell's Computer Based Training?
What other books, materials, classes would you recommend for starting
out?

Second, we're looking at spending some IBM Matching Grant money to pay
for as much as possible.  As of now, probably the server, a few new
workstations (386s), and the cards from IBM.  Here's the problem.
IBM markets these Kodiak Ethernet cards, and doesn't ship 'em with
boot ROMS.  Talking with others convinced me that we want boot ROMS.
does anyone know whether these things have a socket for such a beast,
and where might be the best place to buy 'em?  Also, IBM makes an
ethernet card for their MCA machines (we're talking about the server
here), but indicates that you need some kind of adaptor to connect it
to thinnet wire.  I'm not sure just what this "adaptor" is.  I thought
you could just snap a t-connector on the back of most cards.  If this
card is a dogs (IBM calls it the Adaptor/A for Ethernet networks,
and it lists for $575) can someone warn be away from it.  We will spend
(gulp...) our own money for something better if we absolutely have to
do so.

General advice also accepted :-)  My plan is to have a UPS on the server,
and to have a 386 waiting in the wings (with Novell loaded on it if
our license allows that) in case of a serious problem with the server
(hard disk crash, etc.)  We can't be in a situation where we have to
cancel classes in this lab because the server went down.

I'm a registed Novell Developer, and I have a question about the APIs for

"whohas" which, when passed the name of a network file as a command line
