Hi,

Sorry, I have been absent from the net and couldn't get to this conversation 
earlier.

Novell has two products available for Macintosh product developers. Available 
are the "NetWare for Macintosh Developers's Kit (SDK)" as well as the "NetWare
AppleTalk Interfaces for NLMs (SDK)."  Both products are available through
Novell of Austin (Tx).  Please call them @ 1-800-REDWORD.  They will certainly
help you obtain the products you require... 

I hope this helps...

Think Peace and PLEASE V-O-T-E-VOTE!!!

You need to upgrade to Sytos Plus to handle 3.11.  I think this applies to 2.2 as well ...

I've downloaded the Intel PDIPX from SIMTEL20 and found it a great improvment
over the BYU version. However when I tried to email the author, the message
bounced.

I'd like to request the addition of Token Ring Packets ie 802.5 so it could
be used on Token Ring networks.

Also since Intel seems to want to support IPX would they be willing to write
a copy of IPX for NDIS?

You set the default parameter in SYSCON, just as you do the number of
concurrent logins, the expiry time on the password, etc.

Likewise, yes there is a global default for MAKEUSER which sets all of those
parameters for the MAKEUSER session (or until changed later in the script).
See the MAKEUSER documentation under DEFAULTS, I believe.  (I can't look it
up for you right now, I'm reading at home.  Sorry.)

But, you should be cheered to know you can set both of these.  If you set
the prior, and don't set it in MAKEUSER, the SYSCON setting will apply to MA
MAKEUSER runs.

Well, "Novell network services for the Mac." consists largely of the Apple
Filing Protocol, since, for your Macs to access the Novell server, the
server needs to be running the AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) NLM.  Therefore,
with the exception of the utilities which access the NCP via the AFP.NLM
(such as printer queue utilities, etc., which have to get bindery
information which doesn't exist in the AFP), you'd write your program here
just as you would write it for an AppleShare server.

I'd be surprised if there weren't some limited additional API's for
accessing extended information (like NetWare rights vs. AS rights, or the
users' Long Bindery Names, login time limits, etc.), but for the purpose of
writing, say, a database application, you probably want to write it to
conform to operating system standards, and count on the network to be a
reliable extension to the operating system.  (Wouldn't you want your app. to
run reliably in a Novell-free, all Mac environment, too?)

There do exist hooks, certainly mapped to each other somewhere between
AFP.NLM and the NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) for such things as messages,
since you can send NetWare broadcast messages to a Mac Workstation from a
PC.  (But then, on the braindead side, "USERLIST" doesn't know the ethernet
addresses of EtherTalk stations on the same wire...)

Rename LOGOUT.COM to something else and create a LOGOUT.BAT that changes
directory first then calls the original [renamed] LOGOUT.COM

These are droppings left behind by Novell's menu program; they basically
contain the commands to be executed by the last choice a user made from a
menu, and how to get back to the menu.  If a machine crashes or is shut off
in the middle of an app, these fecal trailsigns are left behind.  The pair
that are currently in use cannot be deleted and may show a file size of 0.

I think a good percentage of your questions will be answered by downloading
sjf-lwp.novell.com(130.57.11.140):odi/specs/pstack_s.zip, spending next
years budget on toner cartridges, printing the postscript documentation
contained in pstack_s.zip and giving it a thorough studying. Not really
a document for the software beginner but, reading your questions, I
get the impression you may have written a line or two of code before? :-)

Organization: OUC, University of Notre Dame
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 16:12:29 GMT

This is a followup to a prior message I posted about gaining more memory
while using Btrieve/DOS.  Currently Btrieve is using ~90K of memory and
since our app. is over 1Meg of heavily overlaid code, memory is precious.

We use the Btrieve command line parameter /E (don't use Expanded mem) 
because the Btrieve manual states that Btrieve can have problems when other
programs attempt to use the Expanded memory while Btrieve is loaded.  Since
we cannot anticipate our end-user system configurations we opted not to 
use the Expanded memory and thereby eliminate any support problems.

  1)  HEY NOVELL!!  Am I being mislead about Btrieves stability with other
      EMS applications???   Has this problem been addressed?  We are using
      Btrieve 5.10a.

  2)  Novell,  Will you ever release a version of Btrieve in .OBJ form???

Subject: HELP:Printing to LaserWriter
Organization: Information Technology Institute, National Computer Board, S'pore
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1992 08:27:48 GMT

I have installed Netware 4 Mac 3.0 on my 3.11 server. I have also setup the
AppleTalk Print Services for DOS users to print to LaserWriters. I have 5
AppleTalk zones connected through 5 Gator boxes to the EtherTalk network.
In these 5 zones, 4 zones have a single LaserWriter and the fifth has 2.
My problem now is I cannot see 2 of the LaserWriters, one from the zone with
2 LaserWriters!

I load atps with the -v option and the message I got is:
ATPS: 0 ------- NW Ccton
ATPS: can't find printer:Ccton:LaserWriter@1STFL(AREA3), retrying

I use the lookup service in atcon and I could see Ccton.

I have also use netwatcher to trace the packets and apparently when a print
job is executed, the gator box is able to "recognise" that it is for the
printer in its zone but when it itself forward the packet, the printer
does not pick it up.

Macs in those 2 zones could logon to the Netware file server. But when I go
into Chooser and look into Novell zone the 2 LaserWriters are missing.

What makes this more strange is the fact that in one of the zones with 2
LaserWriter, one is fine but the other is missing. I even tried swapping
printers to no avail. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may be an FAQ, if so please forgive me.

I have a number of printers connected to netware 3.11 print servers that I would like to be able to print to from our Macintoshes.

We already run Netware for Macintosh v3.0 which allows PC's to print to Apple printers via the atps, but there doesn't appear to be any way to print to non-apple queues from a Mac. Is this possble ? or am I out of luck (don't mind too much if I am, I would just like to know for sure one way or the other).

Any help would be appreciated,

I know this is not the best place for this question but I figured I would

I need to know if a software package exist in which I can share a printer.
Here is the scenario.  We've set up a tempory office location and I need
to share two HP LaserJet IIIs and I was wondering if there is a 
software that will allow this to be done without having to run Novell, or
some other LAN software.  All the PC's have IBM Token Ring Board and are
running NETBIOS (this is why I am curious, there has to be a software
package to interface with NETBIOS) which is used for 3270 capabilities
through an Attachmate EXTRA gateway.  
         
If anyone knows of anything, please reply, or send an e-mail.

Are there TCP/IP packets on the same wire as your workstations?  If so,
then I think that all you need are the clakson packet drivers and the
telnet and ftp that work with those drivers.

If there aren't tcp/ip packets on the same wire as your IPX packets,
then you'll need a box running KA9Q that is connected between your
TCP/IP network and your IPX network to do the encapsulating of the
TCP/IP within IPX.  Then the workstations need the IPXPKT packet driver
and telnet and ftp.

We use the second method with 2.15c, and it works pretty well!

They can all run on the same cable.  If anything, that's the easiest
part of your project.

I think so; certainly you can run other, similar, packages, like the
Clarkson CUTCP stuff.  All you need is packet drivers that match your
hardware, -or- ODIPKT on top of a Novell ODI setup.  Either will work,
both are easy to set up (the hardest part is finding the right
packet driver or locating a copy of ODIPKT).

You will only get the above error message if you placed a CR/LF after the 
LOGOUT command.  It is VERY important that you enter the batch file 
EXACTLY.  Use :

COPY CON LO.BAT
ECHO OFF
F:
LOGOUT^Z


Instead of :

COPY CON LO.BAT
ECHO OFF
F:
LOGOUT
^Z

The first one will work correctly.  The second one produces the error 
mentioned above.
