assistant: OK - my aged_in_the_wood version was as advertised, PCOPY784.ZIP.  ZIP file
is in fact mislaid in the mists of time - it's dated 11 May, 1989.   Mr.
Patriquin has been diligent since, and I have copies of PCOPY92.LZH dated 23
May, 1992, and PCOPY93C.LZH dated 4 March, 1994.  I predict both would have
originally been ZIP files.
I could prepare you a re-archived copy of executable and docs of the earlier
one, which is the only one I personally can vouch for - but it is likely that
the later versions are reasonably OK, using similar algorithms.  (Hope..:-)
I expect that Simtel, or Walnut Creek cdrom.com would have at least one
version up for FTP.
Recommended highly.

assistant: Hi All , how's it going
Just a short question.  I have a network having severe problems with
RPRINTER on a number of workstations.  The RPRINTER command is
embedded into the workstations' AUTOEXEC.BAT file but for some
reason the TSR unloads without any user interaction whatsoever.
The network is running 3.12 Netware with no patches installed.  I
vaguely remember similar problems with other networks in the past
which required a patch for both PSERVER and RPRINTER.  If this is
the case then can anyone tell me the name of a UK-based BBS where it
is available for download
Thanks in advance

assistant: I'm looking for a way to connect a standby server to a network, so that in
case of a catastrofical failure of the server the standby automaticaly takes
over its role.
Currently running is a Netware 3.12 server with 16Mb and 1Gb disk.
I would like to build a standby server from normal available parts, just
'inexpensive' parts and I am looking for the spacial software required for
this.
What software is available?
I heard of SFTIII (not available for 3.12 anymore ? and needs special high
speed link between both servers)
Vinca Standbyserver (looks good, can use existing IPX cabling)
Does anyone have any experience with such a system? Does it really work, how
much hassle to install/use.

user: You are replying to All about "Can't dsrepair".

Write your reply.

assistant: I had a crash corrupt my 4.1 DS database, and I can't load ds.nlm as a
esult,
which means I can't log onto NDS from anything, which means I can't access
anything on the server. The server is patched with current ds.nlm and
dsrepair.nlm.
DSRepair won't repair the database because it says its version doesn't match.
I can't go into Install.nlm and remove the database and start from scratch
because you have to open the database to remove it.
The volume is the Sys volume, so there's no way I can think of to mount it on
a working server to retrieve the data.
Right now the drive's a doorstop, which is really torking me off because if I
could just reinitialize a bare minimum NDS, I could restore the rest from
tape. (The backup is one day old, and a lot of work happens in one day).
This is a huge case of deja vu for me. I had a Netware 2.11 volume do the
exact
same thing to me a few years back: the wrong area of the drive went bad, so
the volume wouldn't mount. It was the Sys volume, so couldn't mount on
another server. Ontrack Netutils 2 was able to retrieve the data (the most
excruciating exercise I've ever gone through: pathetically clunky interface,
restore one directory at a time).
Ontrack sells a product for Netware 4.x but if it takes longer to run the
data recovery utility than to do the work over I'll save the money.
Any data recovery tips out there that might help?

 One *can* install netware 4.10 with an IDE cdrom drive.
 First install the required DOS drivers to access the drive.
 Proceed to install 4.10,  It will complain that it can't mount the cdrom
drive, but will ask if you wish to still access the drive via DOS.  Reply

 Note at this stage, you can NOT use "remove dos" as you will lose access to
the cdrom drive otherwise.
 Install and configure CDUP*, when you re-start the server, it will properly
mount the cdrom drive.
 I've done it once before.  And no I didn't like it.

assistant: work, how
I have setup Vinca StandbyServer several times now.  We have Compaq Proliant
5000R's with 30 gigs (Wide SCSI-II) setup to a Compaq 2500R with the same
amount of storage.  We have several of these type of setups.
Vinca isn't too hard to get working.  All you need to do is add an additional
network card in each machine (100 M-Bit is the best way to go).
I am not familiar with the Netware 3.12 version of Vinca, since we are using
Netware 4.11.  Just follow the instructions to a tee, and you will have no
problems.  It is basically a remote-mirror type setup with an NLM that
monitor's the SAPS from the primary machine.  After a specified timeout (when
the primary is assumed down), the backup will boot up as the primary.

ISADISK.DSK ? Are you sure you want that, and not another diskdriver (maybe

Remember too that ISADISK uses your BIOS to access the disk, so you need to
tell your BIOS that you have a DISK 3 (or 4) in your system. Port 170 and IRQ
15 should work, through some sources mention that IRQ15 should not be used
except when everything else fails... I used that with novell for an IDE
CD-rom in a test system with 3.12, once, and that worked for years...
Remember that you need to laoda ISADISK with port=170 int=F for your
secondary controller, but I gues you did this already and it just did not
work...

However, he cannot use IRQ14 instead, because IRQ14 is already in use for the
