    Thanks to all who replied about my problem with the workstation
    kit for windows. It turned out to be that the NetWare.drv file
    had not been fully decompressed by the installation program.
    The install had left the file at size 65,000 when it should have
    been around 125,712. Thanks again, - Dan

Subject:      Problems keeping Mac printers hidden, MAC NLM 3.011

Hello All!

I know this subject has been floating around quite a bit recently, so
please bear with me if I am repeating questions.

We are running NetWare v.3.11 with the new Mac NLM v. 3.011. We are
experiencing the following:

    1. We can get the printers initially hidden.

    2. Printers are turned off at night and then turned on in the
        morning.

    3. When the printers are turned on in the morning they are no
        longer hidden until either:

        a. A job is sent to the queue.
        b. Someone types in ATPSHIDE ALL on the server console.

I know the obvious solution would be to not turn off the printers but
this is an unacceptable solution for our users. So is typing ATPSHIDE
ALL to restore the hiding.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Have you found a
solution for this? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Aside from your article being incredibly insulting, and (IMHO) a poor
reflection upon Novell (since you appear to be speaking for them), you
also bring up a good point, namely, WHY ARE YOU CHARGING FOR THE OS/2
REQUESTER AT ALL?  when someone pays thousands of bucks for software,
why don't they get the ability to run it on their machines?
Especially in light of the recent announcement of further agreements
with IBM,  with IBM pushing OS/2 so hard, why do people have to pay to
be able to run OS/2 when DOS support is included for FREE?

Having to pay $30 for something that should be free isn't 'cheap'.

PS, what would Uncle Ray say about your calling people STUPID?  Or has
Novell's position switched to one of 'customers? we don't need no
stinking customers'.

If IBM wants to give you a copy that they bought.....who can complain? If IBM
owns it, then they can charge what they like - including nothing.
 
There are also beta releases floating around FTP sites that can be downloaded.
They aren't as stable as the commercial release - but they work.

   On occassions we have to run VREPAIR a couple of times to take care

   and we are back in business.

   I have had the most problems when a server has gone down in the middle

   to be reconciled.

   It is a good thing that the need does not arise very often.

Please make the latest releases of software available for FTP, organised
so that it is easy to find, and documented so I can tell what it does.
I've had difficulty obtaining fixed versions of software in the past, so
being able to find, for example, the latest version of PSERVER when I
have trouble with printing would be handy. Being able to find out what
problems are fixed by the new versions of software would also be good.

How about a mailing list to keep me up to date on bugs and fixes. A list
for each version would enable me to keep up with 3.11, which I use, without
flooding me with messages about 2.2, which I don't.

Maybe tech support by email? (I know that would be tough)

>Thank you for your help.

Thank you, this sounds like a good thing!

Good luck.  NW3.11 system administrators are almost universal in their
contempt of SBACKUP.  I'll tell you this, when SBACKUP works, it's
very good.  However, we've found it almost as likely to ABEND (crash)
your server as it is to successfully complete a backup.  We are still
using it (for lack of a better solution), but we find we have to
down the server at least once every week to keep SBACKUP from taking
it down for us (and trashing a few files, just for fun).

BTW, I don't know how common or significant this is, but everytime
SBACKUP has crashed for us, we've found print queue jobs stuffed
into our SBACKUP .LOG and .ERR files.  Of course, this may be
coincidental, but the same thing's happened every single time!

The new SBACKUP talks directly to the APSI interface pioneered by
Adaptec (with others?).  UltraStor may have an ASPI driver for their
cards (when browing NetWire today, I saw some new UltraStore driver
collections, but didn't pay much attention cause I don't have any of
their controllers).  Alternately, you may be able to use the "HP
DIBI-2" driver.  Best thing is to call the card manufacturer directly.

Hello Novellers,
We have Netware 2.15C running on a Zenith Z386/25 machine with ESDI 200 MB
hard drive. However, soon we will be upgrading to 3.11 and we will be getting
a new 1Gb SCSI drive. Do you think ESDI/SCSI coexistence will cause any
problems ? Even more importantly, would you recommend any specific (brand, no)
SCSI controllers and/or hard disk drives ? Just to let you know we will also
be connecting a CD-ROM to this SCSI controller. Thanks in advance for your
replies.

********************* NOTES from Dave Kearns (DKEARNS @ TCC) at 9/1/92 1:06p

Actually, its IMSP (not IMDP). While the Professional Developers Program
(PDP) carries no membership charge, it is necessary to have purchased the
current version of one of the development packages (C lib, C for NLMs,
Windows SDK, etc.).

I do believe that Brian Meek (Brian@Novell.com) said that he had placed
the ODI spec on his FTP server (sjf-lwp.novell.com). Just tried to verify
this, and FTP tels me its now an "unknown host", so the name may have
changed. Unfortunately I don't have the address. Hopefully Brian (or
someone else) can jump in here and confirm/deny this.

Hello,

Since Dr.Kirchner is on vacation I put some files to ftp.uni-kl.de :

-rw-r--r--  1 524      informat    92366 Aug 27 04:06 ftpdnlm.zip

This is a demo- and trial version of anf NLM ftp-server for Netware
3.11. I have breviously tested it, it looks quite promising.
The full version ranges, according to the docs, in the $200 area,
so that this could be the answer to the often expressed need for a
less expensive ftp-server. Thanks to Brad Clements (bkc@murkworks.com)
who loaded it up !

The most recent versions of Pegasus Mail and DougMenu. They have been
here for about a week now.

The directory is, as usual, pub/pc/novell .

BTW - Regarding the complaints about extraordinary slow access to
      uni-kl.de from European countries:
      I had a call from a nice man of DFN (who run the German academic
      network), who told me that the problem was hardware difficulties
      with the connection to GMD, who runs the link to the Eropean
      backbone. He promised this problems would normalize very soon.

yes, it'll work at slower speeds. you may have to fiddle with the
transmission timeouts at very low speeds (19200). the big gotcha
is the NetWare Core Portocol, it has a window-size of 1. to get around
this you need the Packet-Burst NLM on the fileserver, and the BNETX
shell on the PC.

yes, and it doesn't rely on the server being there as it doesn't use
the service advertising protocol (SAP)

I hade similar problem writing some C program lately trying to link another .OB
J file containing some functions. Since I was not using Objec Oriented programm
ing I found out that I shall save my miles with the .C extention and not .CPP (
when you are asked the name of the file specify also the extention). With the .
CPP extention the compiler was unable to locate some functions that were in the
 .OBJ file. Changing the extension and rebuilding up the project all gone well.

I hope this can help.

Anyone already using a memory manager beware of using msd.exe - it is quite
likely to crash your machine if you ask it to inspect memory!
