The problem is not with the 3.x tools, but with the proprietary clipper
banking software written using old SDK. Unfortunately, there is no
possibility to recompile a software with a new SDK.
So, the question is:
Is there any known solution to reserve lower connection IDs or something
else, but without writing a rather complex proprietary NLM?

Dear Mufutau,
I am also looking for a program to synchronize my server from a workstation.
The reason why is that we can receive the radio signal from the Atomic clock
in Braunsweig in Germany. A smaal digital clock can be obtained from Conrad
Electronics for about US$ 15,-. It has a RS232 interface and for the same
amount a serial cable with software for DOS is available. The exact time is
updated every hour automatically by the radiostation.
If i can update my internal PC clock with this cheap DCF Radio clock and
fter
that synchronize my server from this workstation, it will save me US$
000,-!!
That is the price for an official DCF clock with antenna and NetWare NLM.
Would you be so kind to send me this SERVTIME.ZIP at my E-Mail address. I
ill
be very gratefull to you.

Dear Joost,
I am also looking for a program to synchronize my server from a workstation.
This code above is rather Hocus Pocus to me. Can you explain something or do
you have this program for me?
The reason why i need such a program (perhaps a good tip for you too) is that
Conrad Electronics sells a tiny DCF clock wit RS232 output and a package with
a serial cable with DOS software to update the internal clock of a PC via one
of the COM ports. The mouse can be connected simultaneously on the same port.
The whole combination costs about Fl. 40,- and is a very cheap alternative
or
the expensive server clock cards with NLM from e.g. Tobit.
If possible, please send me more information how to interpret the code above
or send me the complete program by e-mail.
I thank you very much in advance for your help.

I'd like to use MHS on our network voor mail handling. I've installed it (we

address book displays the names of the users in the order
Lastname, Firstname
I'd like this to be:
Firstname Lastname
From the on-CDROM manuals I gather that mail clients such as FirstMail read
the company address book from the extract file,
SYS:MHS\MAIL\PUBLIC\SMF_NS.XRT . This extract file is periodically updated by
MHS.NLM .
Is there any way to make MHS.NLM write the extract file the way I'd like it
to? Or does anyone know some other way to get the company address book in the
format I want?
Thanx in advance.

The current version of Netware is v3.12 (with a 3.11 server somewhere else in
the network).
The files that are kept open are the Powerbuilder Server Databases.
Right. Very soon both servers we have will be upgraded to Netware 4.11 and at
the same time we will start to use ArcServe (instead of ArcSolo) as Backup
software.
As I have been told by other people (and I have checked it out) you can
executed *.NCF-files with ArcServe before and after the backup. This way we
can unload the Powerbuilder databases before the backup and load them again
after the backup is made.... And that is all we want :-))))
I know.. I know.. Another area, another subject :-)))))
