WP 5.1 is network ready. You don't want to just copy it, use the
install program, and then the nwpsetup facility so get user id's
setup for wp.

Subject:      WP Extended Character Sets

Hello All!

Hopefully someone has run across this and can help me out.

Some of my users like to use the extended character sets in Wordperfect 5.1
- i.e. - <CTRL>-V or <CTRL>-2 to print characters from character sets 0-12.

According to the WP manual, "if your printer can print graphics, you should
be able to print all of the characters" (about 1500 of them, I think).
We're using HP Laserjet IID's and Series III's.  The problem is that I can
print all characters from sets 0, 1, 6, 7, & 8, but not from the rest of the
character sets.

I thought this might be a setting in the .PRS files that could possibly be
changed using the PTR program, but I'm not finding anything.  I've tried
many different fonts (built-in, cartridge, and soft fonts) with CHARMAP.TST,
but got no real gain, except a couple of characters from set 5.

Has anyone run across this?

Is it a printer limitation?  a software limitation???

Any help appreciated.

Upfront: I admit to having NO knowledge of ProNet, but I'll try and help based
on what I've surmised so far....
My first assumption is that ProNet uses IPX network packets.  One of the most
nortorious problems in networking (since I've been in it) has been to get
IPX packets and TCP/IP packets to work together (TCP/IP is the packet type
used by Telnet).  I have only recently found some viable solutions. My
situation is just to get Novell (on IPX) and Telnet to work in tandem.

Solution 1: use the BYU packet drivers.  This free package (at least I
think it's free) lets the IPX packet driver latch onto whatever you're
using as a TCP/IP driver (the drivers from Clarkson seem to be the most
popular).  This way, they work together in sort of a piggyback fashion.

Solution 2:  use the ODI software provided by Netware, specifically in
LAN WorkPlace for DOS.  The concept behind ODI (Open Data-Link Interface)
is to allow a single network card to support multiple protocols (TCP/IP
and IPX and whatever else you have protocol stacks for).  ODI comes with
Netware, but I only found the TCP/IP protocol stack in the LAN WorkPlace
package (sold separately).

Now this is how I've solved MY needs.  I don't know how closely this relates
to you, but I hope the shared experience can help you somewhat.

Best of luck to you,
Steve ;^{)

This is one of those wonderful NetWare bugs that keep our lives so
interesting.  I believe that the newer SYSCON won't wipe your
directories when you try to grant trustee assignments.

On the replaced files, check you security.  Are the LOGIN.EXE and
thingys set for Read only Shared?

Good luck.

There IS a gatewayed version of this list on USENET, but it isn't
the same one as the comp.sys.novell. At the last Dallas Networld, a
chap (whose name I don't remember) said he would bring up the topic
of having only ONE USENET news group for Novell, and gateing it in
both directions. But nothing has happened.

(I, like JoeD, look at both comp.sys.novell and the listserv ...
that makes for TONS of mail ... for example, I've been away for
about two weeks, and I've over 1400 mail items to read ... about
1100 from the Novell list. And I haven't even PEEKED and USENET
yet!)

Mr. Carr,
Have you thought of using RPRINTER.COM, a TSR that converts a workstation into a
printer server ? Just a suggestion in case if you can find some workstation
 close
to the printer.

You may be disappointed (as I was) by the cryptic display you receive.
Does anyone know how to interpret the Packet Burst Statistics screen?
Without labels on any of the information, it isn't of much use other than

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Hello,

running the Novell shell 3.26 under 4Dos4.0 yields an warning or info
that the internal PIPE command (?) is missing or not found. Is this a
problem?
Tanks in Advance
Frank (fb@first.gmd.de)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 4dos docs (do you have them?) claim that the "internal pipe"
message can be ignored.  I've found this to be true.  I did
experience some other problems using 4dos 4.00, but once I
applied the 4.01A and 4.01B patches they cleared up.  These
patches are available from compuserve, and the channel 9 bbs
(see the distribution files for more info on that).  On compuserve
I did either GO JP or GO JPSOFT to get them.  One problem they
still haven't licked (although their techs are on it) is getting
4dos to work as a primary shell using remote reset.  Once they
do that, we may license it for all our student machines.
I bought a copy for myself (& strongly recommend it!), and it's
ultra-stable with netware, windows 3.0/3.1 and any recent version
of dos.  The enhanced commands (dir, copy, help), additional commands
(move, select, except, global, list) and command-line editing
features of this shell are *excellent*, and I'll stop right
there before this turns into a commercial.  For anyone who has
4.00 and uses it with netware, DO pick up the patches, they
fix a few netware-related bugs, like the one were drives were
unmapping if you did a DEL /QSXYZ <subdir>.

Hi,

for my development work I am using the NetWare C Interface library for DOS.
In the manual they state that there is 30 days free telephone support as
well as free technical support by mail, FAX or TELEX.

Does anybody know wether I can get this support by e-mail ? That would be
much handier for me, because it would be fast and more reliable than snail
mail (I don't have TELEX and FAX connections from here, Berlin, hardly
ever work). O yeah, I also tried to ring 1-800-SAY-HELP, but I did not
get through to any real person, only to an answering system.

Alternatively, does anybody know wether this support is also available in
Germany or elsewhere in Europe ?


Thanks for any info, Ernst.

This is just not true. The current Netware Requestor works from any
OS2\MDOS\command.com window. or full screen session. Each session
may be private or public. Private sessions are very nice: the map
command, capture, etc. effect only that session and do nop bother
other sessions (including OS/2 sessions).

We have a shareware product called NETLOCK produced by Julian Byrne
at Monash University, Australia. It cost us A$75.00 and works well.

Its shareware and if you like it you can register and receive a few
other useful things such as a Batch system that runs jobs on a
work station.

I cannot locate the software at the moment, but if you have no luck
getting it mail me and I will put it up on our FTP server.

   If you use BOOT ROMs, you do not have to have floppy or hard drives
   on these machines.  Besides saving some dollars, you can very
   effectively prevent unauthorized downloading of programs and you can
   also be very effective in preventing viruses from entering the
   workstations or the network.

   As far as setup, you either do it locally or on the network.   That one
   is a toss up.

Subject:      Current wisdom re EISA/SCSI/3.11 servers

I'm looking for any thoughts based on your experience re:

EISA servers with SCSI disk.

Benefit of faster cpu than 486/33? a lot or not much?

Based on "ordinary" student LAN use (loading W4W/Excel etc. and printing,
with 40-50 stations on ethernet, rather than ORACLE database client/server
etc), what are your feelings on...

is more than 16MB RAM worth it? >32MB?

which SCSI controllers? cacheing? if so, how many MB is optimal?

effect of RAM cache in the machine? optimal size?

I realise these things have probably been chewed over quite a lot -
 I'm just looking for the latest thinking!
