Subject: How is nearest server determined when two are on the same cable?
Date: 25 Aug 92 17:03:07 -0500

What is the algorithm that NetWare 386 uses to break ties when deciding who is
the nearest server (in response to the GetNearestServer request)?  I'm trying
to figure out why the "wrong" server *always* wins in one particular setup we
have.

You can use support routines provided by Novell to do physical <-> virtual
conversion. I remember the routine names are:

1. MapAbsoluteAddressToCodeOffset
2. MapAbsoluteAddressToDataOffset
3. MapCodeOffsetToAbsoluteAddress
4. MapDataOffsetToAbsoluteAddress

Check with your Device Driver Functional Spec., because Novell may have updated
the spec. and changed the names and/or the way to call them.

Hi,

I am running NW 2.2 and some users are running Windows 3.1.  From time to
time the executables stored on the server (PMAIL, SYSCON, WHOAMI, etc...)
can not be run.  Windows reports that the path is invalid or the file could
not be found.  If the user exits Windows the problem persists until the
user either reboots or unloads NETX.COM.  If NETX.COM is reloaded the 
problem goes away until the next time.

The problem is not a faulty path (at login time) because ALL the programs can
be run, and both FILER and the DIR command will display the files.  

This problem does not showup on my machines not running Windows.

Any ideas?  Has anyone seen this before?

Not only do you need to REGISTER MEMORY but you need to do it before
loading any disk drivers (undocumented part of the command)! FYI.P.4044
in the Novell Support Encyclopedia outlines one way to do it. I create
c:\autoexec.ncf which combines c:\startup.ncf and sys:system\autoexec.ncf.
[This is not an issue in machines such as SystemPro, PS/2-90, PS/2-95
which see all the RAM at boot]

Unfortunately, this is required BEFORE the first disk driver is loaded.
Combine STARTUP.NCF and AUTOEXEC.NCF into C:\AUTOEXEC.NCF.

I have always been pleased with the terminal emulation of Kermit, which is a
better VT... than Link Terminals are.  And it's free (PD).
I recently added the shareware "GSZ" from SIMTEL/zmodem.  With a couple of
changes to the supplied "Kermit Macros" (They lost the % from %1 %2), it is
as simple to do a ZMODEM transfer from Kermit as it is to do a Kermit

I've checked the Desqview/X review in the last UNIXWORLD, but it turned
out to be just another advertisement (UNIXWORLD is beginning to look

It is quite educational to put those two reviews side by side and see

 Procomm computes d/l and u/l time using the baud rate your com port is set
 to.  This means that if it is set to 9600 baud, Procomm will figure out the
 correct figure based on this speed, no matter what speed the modem is talking
 to the host at.  If you want the correct times, use ALT-P or the dialing
 directory to set the com port speed to the highest speed of your modem.  If
 you have some sort of compression modem, this is counterproductive, and you
 should just live with the time error.

If we were talking about the MS QBASIC sold as a seperate package at your 
local store, then yes, it is a compiler, so the code will be many times 
faster than either QBASIC supplied with MSDOS 5.0 or GWBASIC (BASIC) which
also comes with DOS.

But the original poster ask about QBASIC which comes with DOS 5.0 which
is an interpreted language. The source code is compatible with the QBASIC
compiler. As to the relative speed differences between DOS QBASIC and
GWBASIC, well it's all a matter of programming style/skill.

QBASIC makes it easier to perform structured top-down programming and
utilizes labels instead of line numbers. On the other hand someone who
is able to do top-down with GW BASIC can realize the same speed and
efficiency. I would say go with QBASIC, because you can eventually
purchase the compiler and compile it later.

This might be explained if Kermit is running in 7-bit mode, and then
whenever it finds a byte with bit 8 set, it prefixes that byte with the
special 8-bit prefix character (yes, one whole extra character), and
then sends the actual byte minus bit 8, therefore sending two bytes for
one actual byte.  Kermit can be set to run in 8-bit mode by option
negotiation at the start of the transfer, but both ends would have to
support that mode, and I don't know whether Procomm 2.4.3, and the host
you were using, support that mode, and/or are able to enable it.  By the
way, Kermit supports many other modes that can be negotiated, such as
sliding windows, long packets, and turning these options on really makes
it fly!  To find out more about the Kermit protocol in general, there is
an excellent book about it available in computer bookstores, and I
believe there is a special edition of that book for the PC, including
software, and then there is the Kermit software source at Columbia
University watsun.cc.columbia.edu:kermit, from which you can download
the latest Kermit sources and documentation for any machine under the
sun.

Make sure to give Linux (which is a FREE SysV (posix actually) unix) a
try. It run's X, All GNU stuff, TeX/LaTeX, you name it. 

Till now, it doesn't have DOS emulation but people are working on it. 

While it supports many hardware items there are some which are not
supported (SVGA cards under X in particular) so make sure to check
your shoping list. 

check comp.os.linux for more info. The latest FAQ list is avilable from	
tsx-11.mit.edu (18.172.1.2) in pub/linux.
