What metering software packages are out there?  We need to monitor the

     I recently purchased the NetWare C Interface for DOS.  I have been 
experimenting with it and have been able to get user info for just about 
everything except full name.  Can someone tell me how to read a user's full
name from the bindery?  Or is it even stored in the bindery?  Is this an 
oversight in the interface?

     I know there must be a way to get the full name because so many programs
do it.  I just want to find out how.  Thanks in advance for helping.

   We have been running 1740's in several different servers for years. 
Initially we had problems, we needed new ROM's and the latest drivers from
Adaptec, but this was over a year ago.  A recently purchased 1740 came in
with all the current rev levels.  I tried the SMC dual-port EISA card and
could never make it work at all, maybe they have a newer driver that is
robust enough now, but I would try another card, even a 16 bit ISA card
(NE-2000's are less than $200) to verify where your problems lie.  I have
swapped hardware around before and most of what it tells you when the
hardware swap makes no difference is that you have a software problem.

If you able to access a computer (probably a UNIX system) running an
RDATE or NTP daemon then there is an RDATE NLM available which will
work.  It was just recently described on this list and on NOVELL@SUVM.
I've never used it, but it looks promising.  

What I have used is a Charon SMTP/LPR-LPD gateway (current version 4.0).
It includes an option to use either RDATE or NTP protocols to set its
own time and then sets the slave server times at administrator
specifiable intervals.  You have to dedicate a PC to this techique but
you get so much more than just the right time if you are on the
INTERNET.

Hope this helps.

A week ago I copied a bunch of files from one volume to
another. In the process, NCOPY would complain that it was
unable to copy the resource fork for the directories. I
checked on the Macintosh and sure enough, the directories
were DOS names. The funny thing is the Macintosh files copied
just fine (ie. They still had long names with spaces and the
like). When I tried using NDIR/MAC, it would list the files
correctly, but the Macintoch directories would only have junk
in them. It looked like the directory name got corrupted. I was
thinking it might just be this particular volume, but it was the
same on all the others, including volumes on other file servers.
Has anyone bumped into this problem before? It seems to me that
this is a common thing to do.

In a few of my programs, when DOS is accessed, I have been receiving fatal
memory allocation errors.  In all cases, the problem arises when I attempt
to change directories or load files.  The programs always display some
sort of "Memory Allocation" error, and attempt to leave to DOS.  However,
when control is passed to DOS, the following error comes up.

Memory Allocation Error
Cannot load COMMAND.COM

The system then locks-up, requiring a reboot.

This problem affects these particular programs (which had been working
correctly), but no other programs.  No other abnormalities have occurred.
I had assumed that some sort of software bug existed, but the problem
continued to appear with no TSR's or memory managers installed at all.  I
even tried using the 4DOS command interpreter, with no effect.

The only other possibility that exists is that some sort of hardware problem
exists.  Can anyone suggest what hardware component might be causing this?
My system configuration follows:

Intel i386-DX, 16 MHz (made in 1985, contains that common bug)
SCSI (Sumo Systems) Drive Interface, 40M Quantum, 120M Maxtor Drives
Sound Blaster version 1.
GameCard III
Modem
BocaRam AT+Plus, SIMM version, 2 megs configured as extended memory
1M onboard extended memory
Unisys motherboard

As I mentioned, this problem appeared recently, with only these particular
programs (a circuit analysis program, and Wayne Gretsky Hockey III).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The easy way is to buy a Micro Solutions (DeKalb, IL) Compaticard.
The Compaticard I has some device driver software bundled with it
that might be all you need.  If you have an oddball format, their
Uniform programs can translate over 300 disk formats including
a number of 8" formats.  Uniform also works with the Maynard FDC-8

Have you tried using the equation editor bundled with word (for windows)?  
I'm not sure if it is included in the dos version.  I find it much more

Sorry if this appears twice, but I don't think my first attempt to post

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Help!  I have managed to apparently thoroughly trash my hard disk, and
am wondering if my only recourse is to reformat.  I would appreciate some
advice from any gurus out there.

First of all, here is my system:

    386DX - 25 MHz, Micronics motherboard, no cache
    Dos 3.3
    40 MB IDE (Teac) partioned as C: 30 MB and D: 10 MB

I just upgraded from 1 MB to 5 MB and decided to install a disk cache using
SMARTDRV (the version that came with Windows 3.0).  I did that and then
ran the QAPLUS diagnostics which came with my system to just
poke around a little.  Without thinking, I ran the memory test included
in that package.  After I quit, my C: drive was thoroughly trashed.
I assume that I shouldn't have done the memory diagnostic while SMARTDRV
was active, but I don't know exactly what I might have done to the disk.
If I do a DIR on C:, I get "File not found" and a volume label
of !"#$%&'()* which is in nicely ascending ASCII order.  It won't boot, of
course.  I am speculating that I overwrote large areas of the disk, like
the operating system, directories and maybe the FAT.  The D: partition is
OK.

So am I screwed?  I don't mind reformatting except that there is some
data that isn't backed up and would be a pain to reproduce.  Is there any
hope of recovering some of the data?  I don't have Norton Utilities or
PC Tools, but would get either one if there was a good chance I could
recover some data.  I understand there is at least one other copy of the FAT
somewhere on the disk.  How could I access it?  Any ideas?
