SYMPTOM

     When running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NetWare Lite
     captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the following message:

     MESSAGE

          Can't print to LPT1

CAUSE

     A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused the problem.

SYMPTOM

     File attributes are being sent across the network.

CAUSE

     A problem with OPENDEV.PAT caused the symptom.

SYMPTOM

     When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite server and the
     client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be
     closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station
     connection.

CAUSE

     A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.

SYMPTOM

     NetWare Lite print jobs are being lost when the printer has been turned
     off or taken offline.

CAUSE

     A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the problem.

SYMPTOM

     When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the first commands
     from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the following
     messages will be displayed and the command will fail:

     MESSAGE

          Redirect device -- Too many open files.

     or

     MESSAGE

          Write file -- Access denied.

CAUSE

     A bug in CLIENT.EXE causes the reconnection between server and client to
     fail when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a client to
     a server that has just been rebooted.  Subsequent NET CAPTURE or NET
     PRINT commands from the client station will work normally.

SYMPTOM

     Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite is corrupted.

CAUSE

     A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused certain applications run on a client/server
     with a local printer to produce printer output that has been corrupted.

SYMPTOM

     The NetWare Lite server appears to hang when loading applications in
     Window's startup box.

CAUSE

     When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1 and running
     NetWare Lite, a bug in SERVER.EXE caused the server to not respond until
     some of the automatically loaded applications were closed.

SYMPTOM

     When running an application that performs background printing on a
     server/client with a printer connected locally, the station locks.  Some
     applications that exhibit this problem (not limited to) are Foxpro,
     Mas90, Clipper, WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol, and
     Red Wing.

CAUSE

     A bug in CLIENT.EXE caused applications doing background printing on a
     NetWare Lite server/client where printing is captured to a printer
     connected locally to experience a server lock up sometimes.

     The problem requires the station to be rebooted.  Each time the station
     is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are left on the hard
     drive.  If this happens enough times without running "chkdsk /f" the FAT
     table will become corrupted.

SYMPTOM

     When using IBM ValuePoint models 425sx or 433dx and pressing the
     <Ctrl>+<Alt> keys to reboot the server, or when a popup printer status
     screen is being displayed, the video screen switches to 40 column mode.

CAUSE

     A bug in SERVER.EXE caused the monitor to switch to the 40 column mode.

SYMPTOM

     Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows, if Windows is
     running in a superVGA mode such as 8514.

CAUSE

     NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the status of the
     printer.  A bug in SERVER.EXE causes the popup message box to hang
     Windows.

SYMPTOM

     With the DoubleSpace device driver, nonexistant drives get set to valid
     physical drives after running the NET utility.

CAUSE

     MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter Block
     (DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS).  CLIENT.EXE was
     setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as
     a network drive.

SYMPTOM

     The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite mapped drive with the
     following message:

     MESSAGE

          PATH NOT FOUND

CAUSE

     The file is located at the root directory.

CAUSE

     The rename command uses a DOS wildcard character as shown in the
     following example:

          rename docfile.doc *.sav

SYMPTOM

     When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may experience corruption
     on their print job under the following conditions:

     Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17 function 0 to send
     characters to be printed under NetWare Lite,

     The application makes repeated calls to interrupt 17 function 0 to send
     the same character to the printer without reinitializing the character to
     be printed in register AL.

CAUSE

     The problem is caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
     failed to preserve the contents of AL.

SOLUTION

     Apply the patch files included in L11S01.EXE. (Before applying files in
     the FIELDTST subdirectory, read FIELDTST.TXT.)

               print to LPT1" message.

     Symptoms: Quicken printing fails with the message "Can't print to LPT1". 
               This also fixes the problem with getting file attributes across
               the network.  The problem was with OPENDEV.PAT.

     *************************************************************
     CLOSEFIL.PAT - NetWare Lite 1.1 Server close file handles fix patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:       When a client station has open files on a NetWare Lite
                    server and the client reboots with the files still open,
                    sometimes the files will not be closed when the client
                    reconnects or when watchdog clears the station connection.

     Symptoms:      Files are left open on the server when a client reboots.

     *************************************************************
     LPTSTAT.PAT -  NetWare Lite 1.1 Server LPT printer status fix patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:       Print jobs in NetWare Lite are being sent to a printer
                    that has been taken off line or powered off.  The jobs are
                    being lost.

     Symptoms:      Print jobs are being lost when the printer has been
                    powered off or taken off line.

     *************************************************************
     RECONFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client reconnect patch.

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:       The reconnection between server and client fails to occur
                    when the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands are issued by a
                    client to a server that has just been rebooted. 
                    Subsequent NET CAPTURE  or NET PRINT commands from the
                    client station will work normally.

     Symptoms:      When using the NET CAPTURE or NET PRINT commands as the
                    first commands from a client to a server that has just
                    been rebooted, the error messages "Redirect device -- Too
                    many open files." or "Write file -- Access denied." will
                    be displayed and the command will fail.

     *************************************************************
     CLPRINTR.PAT - NetWare Lite Client printer corruption fix patch.

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:       Running certain applications on a client/server with a
                    local printer will produce printer output that has been
                    corrupted.

     Symptoms:      Printer output that has been captured through NetWare Lite
                    will be corrupted.

     *************************************************************
     VXDFIX.PAT -   NetWare Lite 1.1 Server windows VXDFIX patch version 2.0.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:       When automatically loading applications with Windows 3.1
                    and running NetWare Lite, the server will not respond
                    until some of the automatically-loaded applications are
                    closed.

     Symptoms:      The NetWare Lite server will appear to hang when loading
                    applications in Windows startup box.

     *************************************************************
     INT28FIX.PAT -  NetWare Lite Client int 28 ISR patch version 2.0

     Target:        CLIENT.EXE

     Problem:       Applications doing background printing on a NetWare Lite
                    server/client where printing is captured to a printer
                    connected locally may experience a server lock up.  The
                    problem requires the station to be rebooted.  Each time
                    the station is rebooted because of this problem, lost
                    clusters are left on the hard disk.  If this happens
                    enough times without running the "chkdsk /f" command, the
                    FAT table will become corrupted.

     Symptoms:      You may have this problem if you are having problems
                    running an application that performs background printing
                    on a server/client with a printer connected locally and
                    the station locks.  Applications that exhibits this
                    problem but not limited to are FoxPro, Mas90, Clipper,
                    WordPerfect, PeachTree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol and Red
                    Wing.

     *************************************************************

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:       When using the IBM Valuepoint models 425sx or 433dx,
                    pressing the CTRL-ALT keys to reboot the server or when a
                    popup printer status screen is being displayed, the
                    monitor will switch to 40 column mode.

     Symptoms:      The video screen switches to 40 column mode when using IBM
                    Valuepoint models 425sx or 433dx.
     *************************************************************

     DOS6CDS.PAT - NetWare Lite Client MS DOS 6.0 Current Directory  Structure
     (CDS) patch, Italian version.

     File:          CLIENT.EXE
     Checksums:     470, 47E, 5FE, 367, 580, 240, 47E, 5FE

     Problem:       MS-DOS 6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive
                    Parameter Block (DPB) is used in the Current Directory
                    Structure (CDS). Client was setting a drive status to
                    "valid physical drive" after using the drive as a network
                    drive.

     Symptoms:      With the DoubleSpace device driver, non-existent drives
                    get set to valid physical drives after running the NET
                    utility.
     ***********************************************************

     RENFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite 1.1 Italian Server rename file fix patch.

     File:          SERVER.EXE
     Checksums:     397, 4EA, A26, 2BC, 37C, 1ED, 30A, A26

     Problem:       When using the DOS rename file command to rename a file on
                    a NetWare Lite mapped drive, the following conditions will
                    cause the rename to fail with the message "PATH NOT
                    FOUND":

                    1.   The file must be located at the root directory.

                    2.   The rename command must use a DOS wildcard character.
                         For example, "rename docfile.doc *.sav"

     Symptoms:      The DOS rename file command fails on a NetWare Lite drive
                    with the message "PATH NOT FOUND."
     ***********************************************************

     INT17FIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client int 17 ISR patch, Italian version.

     File:          CLIENT.EXE
     Checksums:     61F, 323, 4F4, 13A, 323

     Problem:       Applications making calls to the BIOS interrupt 17
                    function 0 to send characters to be printed under NetWare
                    Lite may experience character loss on the print job.  The
                    character loss happens when the application makes repeated
                    calls to interrupt 17  function 0 to send the same
                    character to the printer without reinitializing the
                    character to be printed in register AL.  The problem is
                    caused because the NetWare Lite client interrupt 17 ISR
                    failed to preserve the contents of AL.

     Symptoms:      When printing under NetWare Lite, applications may
                    experience corruption on their print job under the
                    conditions described above.
     ***********************************************************

     WINPOPUP.PAT - NetWare Lite 1.1 Server Windows LPT printer status fix
     patch.

     Target:        SERVER.EXE

     Problem:       Using Windows with a super VGA driver causes Windows to
                    hang when sending a print job to a printer that has been
                    taken offline.

                    NetWare Lite uses a popup message box to indicate the
                    status of the printer.  The popup message box causes
                    Windows to hang.

     Symptoms:      Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows if
                    Windows is running in a super VGA mode such as 8514.
