    I have seen a number of posts on this in the last couple of months,
but in the 2+ years I have been using FM Pro, I have never come across
this bug. Is it a conflict with something? Does anyone know under what
circumstances this bug manifests itself? I would really like to know
since I have use FM Pro on 6 different Macs, from an SE up to a Quadra
950 and never had this problem.

Hi,
Can someone explain to me why the ok variable is set to 0 (zero) when I use it to close a document (SET CHANNEL(11))? I SEND RECORDs to that file and closes it like the manual says, there is enough diskspace etc.

So, if you have any idea, please let me know.

FileMaker Pro 1.0v3 may not be able to help you but FM Pro 2.0 is expected

As they say, your mileage may vary, but I find that compiling my
4D apps increases speed by about a factor of 3. In other words, you
sure can tell the difference. Of course, best performance is
obtained by declaring string variables with the minimum length
required. Other variable types are usually figured out by the
compiler just fine (best to declare real/integer also) but
it's good policy to delare all variable types.

According to the "What's New in FileMaker Pro (2.0)" booklet,

"You can now export summary data.  Summary data is based on the current
sort order and found set.  FM Pro lets the user choose fields to
summarize by and gives the user the ability to specify the export
order.  See Chapter 8, "Exchanging information," in the
FileMaker Pro (2.0) User's Guide."

So it looks like you can do this if you upgrade to 2.0, which I
guess I would recommend anyway.

Hope this helps...

Dear Netters:

Newsletter Articles Wanted! Yes, That means you!

BMUG, formerly the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group and now just
BMUG, is requesting everyone to submit articles for our upcoming
Spring '92 Newsletter. They can be on anything that might be
of interest to a computer user.

The last issue had sections on hardware, software, System 7,
Desktop Productions (dtp+), programming, telecomm, PowerBooks,
computers in society, and commentary. How can there be so much? The
"newsletter" is around 450+ pages!

The articles don't have to be clones of the monthly rags that we
see on the news stands. We want real users, real solutions, and
real life stories!

If your article is accepted, you receive a six month membership in
BMUG, which includes the Newsletter, BMUG Memo (a small publication
that comes out every now and then), access to our BBS (16-lines),
notice of any special offers that developers make to our members, 
and use of our telephone HelpLine. I know this doesn't sound like
much to people that are connected through the InterNet, but you'd
also get thousands of people that don't see your signature everyday
oohing and aahing over your words. 

The deadline for submission is soon, October 31, 1992. The
Newsletter will be sent to our members in late January.

If this sounds like a good idea, please send your articles to 

Tim_Holmes@bmug.org  or         

snailmail on disk (a good way for insurance)

PS: If you sent in an article and think it was accepted -- and

inquiry to Tim_Holmes@bmug.org including the title of your article,
your snail address, and whatever else you might want to mention...

There has been and most likely will be alot of heat on this subject; whether 
or not hacks into systems should be publically posted, vendor 
responsibilities for notification and fixing, etc, etc, etc.

For what I consider to be an excellent example of how this sort of thing 
should be handled please check in on comp.virus.  The discussions of virii 
are quite frank and open and honest - but NO virus code is posted.  By all 
means problems and (hopefully) solutions should and must be discussed.  
Novell needs to respond, both with band aids and more permanent solutions.  
But to post hacks into systems to a public list is the same as posting virus 
infected files and saying "here's a Stoned infected file for your inspection 
and infection pleasure".

I want to know the details of holes in my system, what they are, what they 
do, and how to stop them.  I don't want to see the code that exploites them 
made publically accessable.

Hi,

Correct, you employ NON-SEED routing functionality when using the NET=0-0 
assignment.  However, it is important to note that you must have at least v3.03
of APPLETLK.NLM.  This APPLETLK.NLM was first shipped with 3.01 NW4MAC.  

You can get NON-SEED routing support with the APPLETLK.NLM contained in the
ATSUP.ZIP (AppleTalk Support Package) on NetWire under NOVLIB 8. There is no
documentation in this package.  But the README file tells you how to get the
documentation.

I hope this information helps...

It sounds like the hub manager's machine is configured with
an incorrect (too wide) subnet mask, since if the hub is
not on the same IP subnet as the hub manager, the hub manager
should ARP for the first-hop-router's IP address rather than
the hub's IP address when it wants to talk to the hub.

Hi,

	Microsoft have just launched a program called WinLogin to help manage
Windows on a network.  Here's a bit of the description from a magazine article;

	WinLogin allows users to access their own customised Windows settings
from any PC on the network and enables several users to share one PC, each with
their own settings.
	Network managers can use WinLogin, which uses a central database to
manage user, workstation and administrator settings, to access and remotely
edit configuration files.
	WinLogin works with most networks that support Windows 3.1, including
LAN Manager, NetWare, LAN Server, Vines and Lantastic.


	Has anybody seen this yet - does it do what they claim?  Cost in the UK
is 25 pounds.

Novell's TCP/IP manual *is* adequite, if you already have an understanding
of how TCP/IP works...  If not, you'll do a fair bit of head scratching.
It's a lousy tutorial, and it desn't help that there isn't any hard info
on how to configure the workstations, nor does it help that the idea of
IP networking is new to most LAN administrators.

Another *excellent* TCP/IP book, IMHO, is TCP/IP Network Administration, by
Craig Hunt (O'Reilly 0-937175-82-x).  When combined with Essential System
Administration, by Aeleen Frisch (also O'Reilly, 0-937175-80-3) you have
a pretty good set of texts for the SysAdmin getting into TCP/IP and UNIX
for the first time.

Hello,

I am very interested in getting my CNE certification for job security reasons.
However, I am in no position to spend the $4000-$5000 for the classes
plus $70 per test to achieve this.  I looked into purchasing the
study materials, I couldn't believe how much they want for the books!!
And these are not very thick books either.

Has anyone found a way to do this without going broke?  I am a self-eomployed
consultant so I don't have an employer who will foot the bill.  Is
it common practice for people to sell the study materials?  If so,
where do they adertise?  What are your opinions of the CNE?  Judging from 
the prices, I am beginning to smell a scam.  I mean I know some real
Novell experts who have no interest in the CNE and some CNE's who are
pretty clueless!

I'd appreciate any help.

I think that your assumption that you can't have mapping usernames on one queue
and single account on another (in Netware NFS) is correct.

But there is still a way to restrict use of the queue.  Form a group on your
unix host, and use the restricted group (rg) field in your printcap 
definition.

In this way, your restriction for your unix users is defined on your unix host,
which makes things a bit more intuitive in case a bus ever gets you. :-)

To make matters worse,the main goal here is to have a DOS/Merge session
running on the SCO system running a DOS application (Foxpro 2.0) be able
to access common database files with other DOS based systems locally.
The primary reason for doing this is t provide support for remote Users
which will be accessing the system over 56K digital links via TCP/IP.

In any case, I am able to invoke an instance of Foxpro on the DOS/Merge
session, but when I go to run an application that is on a NFS mounted
volume, Foxpro (DOS/Merge) goes to la-la land.  Novell NFS is reporting
in it's auit log the folowing error condition:

LOCKD-Error: Internal Error: RPC unknown host.
LOCKD-Error: Internal Error: RPC system error.

Can anyone please provide any clues as to how I can solve this problem?

Please email responses.  I will summary is there is sufficient interest.

Thanks

We run Windows 3.1 on diskless PC's, It works fine,
as long as you have enough memory on your PC's, otherwise
windows will start swaping out to the fileserver.
The only other problem might be v2.15a as I do not think
this supports show dots on, although this is less of an issue with 3.1
then it was with 3.0 it may still cause problems.
