There is a fiddle around this, using NFS for NetWare.

Set up Novell queues in the normal manner, but service them with the LPR
print server that comes with NWNFS.  Tell it the unix box it wants to print
to is.... The Novell LPD server!  The job goes from the novell queue, thru
the LPR print server, to the LPD emulator, to a novell queue, all nicely
processed for PostScript with headers, and ASCII -> postScript conversion, if
nesessary, very quickly (a few pages go thru the seemingly torturous process
in about a second).  the LPR -> LPD traffic does not go across the network,
as both devices are on the same box, so there isn't a network load issue.

I use this for DOS print screens to PostScript printer...

Hi,
	Has *anyone* out there gotten Excel 4.0 to work in this
configuration? Following Microsoft's instructions I Installed
Excel on the server, and then used 'setup' to install on other
workstations. Sometimes it works, and other times I get a UAE
when I exit the program. ***AAhhhh**** Any ideas why this might
happen? Does setup put some stuff where it shouldn't? I called
Microsoft support. They couldn't really think of anything that
might cause these symptoms. Maybe if I could just hear from
someone who has beed successful, I can be convinced it is possible!

thanks!

Another onging problem I have is printing from Windows 3.1

When I had my 3Com network all was fine.  We upgraded to
Novell 3.11 and not the same Windows setup (ok we told it it
was Novell and are running ODIUP5) and we get many pages of
garbage when we send anything from Windows.

The garbage consists of a few caracters at the top of the
page followed by a form feed...

As indicated before, WinQVT/Net works fine over ODIPKT if you have

Make sure that ODIPKT and QVT_TCP.RC agree on the packet driver
interrupt vector.  If I recall correctly, ODIPKT defaults to int 60
(hex).  For some strange reason, if you want to change ODIPKT's
int vector, you need to enter it in DECIMAL, rather than the
cannonical hex.--

From: Peter Gutmann (pgut1@cs.aukuni.ac.nz)
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1992 08:53:55 GMT
Organization: Computer Science Dept. University of Auckland

A friend of mine has managed to zap his SCSI drive - the error he gets is
"Missing drive strap".  He's running Netware on it, using a WD FASST (no doubt
there's some fancy capitalization of that) controller and a Maxtor 670MB drive.
He has partial backups, but not the entire 600-odd megs.

He's picked through the drive with a sector editor and confirmed that the data
is all intact, and traced through the startup code up to the point where it
switches the CPU into protected mode, at which point he hit a dead-end
(obviously).  He suspects the problem is something like a corrupted boot sector
or somesuch, but (apparently) can't get at the drive at all except at a very
low level.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?  Any way to fix it?  Please reply by
email if possible, since I don't normally read this group...

We've seen it. Our tech pubs people are heavy NetWare NFS users and
they encountered this problem spooling 40-50 Megabyte Framemaker
documents. The problem is that the error message sucks!

What is actually happening is that there is no room on the SYS: volume
to spool the print job. "But I have lots of space on my SYS: volume!" he
says. Not for the user who is trying to spool the job you haven't.

Our tech pubs people had used PLPDCFG to map all UNIX users to a single
NetWare account for printing purposes. The account they chose was GUEST.
Unfortunately, someone had used USERDEF to restrict GUEST to a maximum
of 10 Megabytes of space on the SYS: volume. Consequently, when the users
spooled the 40-50 Meg Framemaker files, it all went horribly wrong.
The simple solution is to remove disk quota restrictions on SYS: for
the NetWare users to whom the UNIX users who are spooling jobs have
been mapped via PLPDCFG (be it a single NetWare account or the multiple
NetWare accounts handled through either the table mapping method or
the lexigraphically equal username mapping method).

It becomes harder if you are using disk quota restrictions on SYS: for
good reason *and* have your users working directories on SYS:. Then, the
size of the jobs they can spool depends on the amount of their quota
being burned up in their working directories. You have just uncovered
good reason number four hundred and eighty seven to put your users on
volumes other than SYS:.

P.S. Sorry about the brain dead error message.

You need to get a copy of XTNET or XTGOLD which have pruning functions and will
delete all the files and multiple sub-dirs under the root or under any other
directory you allow.

THere are also quite a few PD programs which allow this to happen such as WIPE
which do the same thing.  There is also another utility called branch which will
do most things that XTNET does.

Look around for these files.

Organization: Educational Computing Network
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1992 19:41:59 GMT

We are expanding our Novell Server in the CS Department so that we
can now give our students individual accounts so they can keep their
files on disk.

(We have had a server for some time, but we always used "guest" accounts and
students had to keep their files on diskette.)

We have some questions.

1) Are there utilities out there equivalent to "du" on UNIX.
   Basically, we would like to be generous with disk quotas--or even
   not have any disk quota at all.
   On the other hand, we would like to be able to determine who the
   "pigs" are.

   We are particularly concerned as we have heard that there is no way
   to track "hidden files" that students might create to evade
   detection.

2) Regretfully, we don't have a tape drive on our new server.
   We do have a Sun connected to the same campus lan.  That has
   a driver.

   Is there any way to back up our server over the network.
   One possibility raised by another posting
   is purchasing the NFS server software
   from Novell.  I suspect that will be more expensive than the
   cost of purchasing a tape drive.

   There must be some other way.

3)  Is there any way to get a list of who is logged in and for how long.  
     In this manner, we can remove those who may have left themselves
     logged in for days and free up the resources they are taking.

Thanks for your advice.

I need to find out the Ethernet address of a given file server.
And no, walking down the hall, opening the chasis and looking
at the 3Com card doesn't count. I need a *software*-based way.

Slightly helpful will be an already existing utility.

VERY helpful will be an API (either C or Pascal) -based solution.
Something equivalent to GetStationAddress(). 
There doesn't seem to be a GetServerAddress().

Any tips? Any solutions? Any experience?

Should I bother to grap a passing Ethernet packet, rip it open
and look around inside for the appropriate 6 bytes?

I have a tiny program called NETDRIVE.COM that a friend gave to me.

Type NETDRIVE and presto!  You are instantly logged to the first
network drive (usually, but not always) F:.

Using a batch file, you could pretty easily set an environment variable
to the first net drive.....

------------- Begin FIRSTNET.BAT -----------------------
@ECHO OFF
REM Set env var FIRSTNET to first logical network drive
F:LOGINNETDRIVE
CD 
COPY C:NETFILE1.TXT C:NETSETVAR.BAT
CD >> SETVAR.BAT
SETVAR
--------------- End FIRSTNET.BAT --------------------------
-------------- Begin FILE1.TXT ----------------------------
@SET FIRSTNET=
--------------- End FILE1.TXT ------------------------------

SPECIAL NOTE!  FILE1.TXT must NOT contain a carriage return!
Creat FILE1.TXT by typing this exactly as I describe....
At the DOS prompt:  type COPY CON FILE1.TXT  and hit <RETURN>
At the cursor: type @SET FIRSTNET=  and hit <Ctrl-Z>
    (note:  there is NO space after the equal sign)
At the ^Z displayed:   hit <RETURN>

I would recommend making FILE1.TXT readonly then.
(Of course, FILE1.TXT is a stupid name.  Rename it....)

One small drawback to this is that if your first network drive
is F:  then FIRSTNET=F:     (with the backslash)
Maybe that matters, maybe not.
A recent issue of PCWorld published a batch file that would let you
do string manipulation using DOS environment variables and DOS commands....

Let me know if you want the NETDRIVE.COM....
I'll UUEncode it.

Note:  The above batch files have never been tried by me.  I just made
them up.  No reason why they won't work though.

Bon chance!

Building one has a UNIX machine that is hooked up via a MUX...has users
on that side.   What is needed is to hook building two (Netware LAN) &
building one up via a MUX that can be access directly through
Netware...We need a 16-channel unit....We are looking at the following
products:

883-000770-001   Netware Access Server for V1.2
883-000770-002   New Product...Netware Access Server for V1.2

Can anyone describe in detail what these products do???  We think that
these are what we need, but the descriptions of the products were so
limited we can't be sure....any help is really appreciated.

We attempted to get intouch with Novell, but they were impossible to get
intouch with....when we finally did get intouch with them they had no
idea what we were talking about. 

Is there somebody out there with more brains than Novell that can help???
This is really driving us bonkers.

Article-I.D.: athena.1992Aug12.232245.27036

Hi,

I am working with an office using ELS level 1.  They are having sporadic 
problems printing from WP51 to an HPIIID connected to the server as printer 0.
The problems involves garbage characters appearing where text should be and
words being left out, as well as text printed in the margins.  

I checked that WP was using the proper printer drivers - barring the possib-
ility of out-of-date drivers everything looks OK.  WP is configured to print
directly to network printer 0, though it also will print when configured to
print to the fileserver name, i.e. ELS_SERVER.  In both cases the problems
occurred.  

I disconnected the printer from the server and hooked it to LPT1 on the 
workstation.  It worked without a hitch.  Any ideas why this might be?

Also, they have other apps that are not network savvy and can't print to a
queue.  I wanted to issue a capture command at the workstation.  Apparently,
the form of this command on ELS 1 is spool.  With the command:

spool nt nb nff ti=35

it would echo all the right answers to me about rerouting lpt1, but printing
from WP would not happen, "check cables ...", and printing from DOS would say
"device not ready ...".  Am I using spool wrong?  Is it not analogous to 
capture?

I haven't looked at ELS netware in years and only briefly then.  Any help
will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
