4.0x Serial&LAN ************ BTRIEVE & NETWARE 2.0a ********************** ************************ * When running Novell 2.0a, run btrieve before running anywhere. Type in: btrieve /m:20 /p:1536 /b:2 /f:4 /e * "File not found AW.TRM" can be caused by load btrieve first with none or incorrect parameters. "btrieve /m:20 /p:1536 /b:2 /f:4 /e" is the correct settings for us. Or they can take it out of memory with bstop awbtrv.zip on BBS. 4 Serial&LAN *************** CUBIX and VGA problems ********************** ************************ A patch program was sent to Cubix from development to fix a problem unique to certain Cubix boards. This problem did not occur with pcANYWHERE 4.03c. The problem is that these Cubix cards are not fully emulating certain VGA registers (DAC registers), causing the remote screen to look grey. Cubix will correct the problem in its future boards. Future releases of pcANYWHERE will not require this patch, automatically checking for DAC registers. Cubix will distribute the patch to their customers who require it. The name of the patch file is P45-1.ZIP. 4.03xLAN **************** GATEWAY in HIGH MEMORY ************************* ************************ The 4.03c version of awlan.exe dated 5-24-91 does not load the gateway high. The Problem is fixed in the new release 4.5. 4.03 users who do not wish to upgrade can load the gateway high from the DOS prompt by entering: "loadhi awlovl3 -i=xxx -p=path". * loadhi = the executable for the memory management program they are using * xxx = the user ID for awlan * path = the drive and path where the awlan configuration files are stored 4.xLAN ********************* NASI/NCSI Users ***************************** ***************** o Older version of NASI/NCSI can cause problems. Problems such as data loss, inability to connect to a NASI/NCSI port, random disconnect, or file transfer abort can usually be solved by installing the latest version of the communication server software. If you are using Novell's NACS, please contact Novell for the latest versions of NASI and NACS. Even though version 2.09j may fix some earlier problems, you will need a later version 3 in order to avoid random disconnect problems. If you are Network Product Corporation's ACS2 or NMP, please contact Network Products for the latest version of NCSI and ACS2 to properly operate with pcANYWHERE for LAN. 4.xLAN ******************** NETWARE 386 Users **************************** ******************* When using the NetWare/IPX device type, you should make your host information entries specify the computer name of the host. Leaving the host name blank will not display a list of names. The fix for this requires you to upgrade to version 3.10 of NetWare 386, and install the "SCBFIX.ZIP" patch available from Novell on NetWire on Compuserve in Library # 16 Novel new uploads. There is no fix for version 3.00. Contact Novell for any additional information on this upgrade and patch. You can download tapsys in library #16 this is a menu for getting around comnpuserve faster. Novel 3.11 has the patch built in. 4.5LAN ********************** WINDOWS and IPX **************************** ***************** o The VIPX.386 driver is only for DOS programs using IPX services. This driver appears in the "network=" line of your SYSTEM.INI file if you specified a Novell network when Windows was originally installed. The "pcANYWHERE Installation for Windows" procedure removes the reference to this driver from your SYSTEM.INI because current versions of VIPX.386 (including version 3.00) cause pcANYWHERE to lock up. If future versions of VIPX.386 work properly and are needed by other applications, you may return this reference to your SYSTEM.INI file. The original line in the SYSTEM.INI contained something like: network=*vnetbios, vnetware.386, vipx.386 The reference to vipx.386 is removed by the installation program: network=*vnetbios, vnetware.386 o With an IPX connection, when running DOS under Windows, it is possible that a key may have to be pressed in order to start the DOS session. If you experience this problem, a change to your SYSTEM.INI file can help. In the [386Enh] section, add a line to set the value for TimerCriticalSection to 100, as follows: [386Enh] TimerCriticalValue=100 If the problem persists, increase the value in increments of 100. Note that modifying this parameter may affect Windows performance.
