Write your reply.

assistant: Since Netware is handling the actual reading and writing on the disk,
yes. The limitation comes into play when Netware tells DOS that there
is 3 GB free space, and 2 GB is the biggest number that DOS
understands.
Think of it this way: if you had a counter that could go up to 99,
what would it display when it counted 103? It would either say 3 (it
wrapped around), or 99 (it maxed out).  DOS does the latter.

(Intranetware).
Are there any books dedicated to Netware 4.11?

 I've got NetWare DOS Box Alpha 2 Version 0.66 (September 1, 1993).
 But according to manual, it will not run with NetWare 4.x (only 3.x).
 Maybe, another NLM will help you - jcmd.nlm. You can work with files
 on a Netware 4.10 server DOS partition (until REMOVE DOS or SECURE
 CONSOLE, of course) and with files on NetWare volumes, including copying
 files between DOS partition and NetWare volumes (CD, too). You can not run
 programs :(
 jcmd.nlm also allow you to backup and restore NDS database.
 Is it what you need?

Well, with NW 4.11 you can use the NETBASIC INTERPRETER at the server and

What's the "correct" way to set up British Summer Time on a Netware 3.11

I only ask because I have Netware and Linux on the same network here, and
since
I left Linux to look after its own date (that's fine, it now says 12:46 BST
r
whatever), the ncpfs set of utilities has been reporting the Novell time as
being one hour ahead of what it actually is...!
I'm not sure if this is a Linux problem or a Netware problem, but is there
ny
way to set the time to GMT on the Netware server, and have both Win95 and DOS
workstations automatically compensate and convert to BST when neccessary?
(something like setting the TZ variable?)
