Description of Changes to the LAN WorkPlace for DOS Applications This section describes the LAN WorkPlace for DOS applications affected by the patch and for each application the problems fixed by the patched version of the application. It also describes some changes that have been made to improve performance in the XPC application. ____________________________ 2.1 Patched Applications Host Presenter Rapid Filer TNVT220 TELAPI RSH, REXEC XPC FTP _______________________ 2.2 Problems Fixed: The following section describes the problems encountered with the unpatched version of the applications. These problems have been fixed in the patched version of the applications. ______________________ 2.2.1 Host Presenter After you start Host Presenter, printer changes through Control Panel or Print Manager are not picked up by Host Presenter. When printing to a PostScript printer, Landscape mode text in Bypass Printing mode is printed in very small fonts. Opening 5 active sessions to Host Presenter hangs the workstation. Doing continuous print in landscape mode on HP Laserjet printers prints error message "Unable to obtain requested font" When using Host Presenter with the UNIX editor VI, screen flashes cause a loss of system resources. Printing to "Generic/Text Only on FILE" inserts 14 \n chars after a line. Host Presenter not interpreting sequence Esc?25hESC22;0*x correctly. Therefore, the first line of the display ends up on the twenty-third line instead. If the text line is longer that 132 characters when using Host Presenter Continuous print option, the Host Presenter will cause a GP fault. Selecting Landscape Option under File/Printer Setup does not work. ___________________ 2.2.2 Rapid Filer Rapid Filer is unable to parse directories on certain UNIX hosts. If the user does not have a write permission when overwriting a file on host, the file is not copied and the file on host is deleted. _______________ 2.2.3 TNVT220 Selecting the VT220 8-Bit emulation mode caused TNVT220 to go in binary mode. The user was unable to enter his user name and password. Now selecting the VT220 8-bit mode will leave the emulation in ASCII mode. Open a TNVT220 session, then use
