Title:  DOS 3.X Shell Auto Despool Disable 
 
 
 With Advanced NetWare and SFT NetWare versions 2.0 and above, 
the DOS 3.X shell will automatically despool the printer output 
if the application closes the output device after printing has 
been completed.  In some cases it is not desireable that this 
occur every time the output device is closed.  This feature may 
be disabled by performing the following patch to the DOS 3.X 
shell (ANET3.COM). 
 
 You must have already linked your workstation shell with the 
desired driver before beginning to use working copies of your 
"GENSH-1" and "GENSH-2" diskettes.  Using the DOS "Debug" 
program, perform the following patch.  (All underscored 
characters are entered by the operator.) 
 
DEBUG ANET3.COM <CR> 
-E181 <CR> 
XXXX:0181 00.01 <CR> 
-W <CR> 
Writing XXXX bytes 
-Q 
 
 If you perform this patch while you are logged into the network, 
you must logout, reboot the workstation, and load this patched 
shell to make the change effective. 
 
 Now that the patch is complete, printer output will not be 
despooled unless the "ENDSPOOL" command is typed or the "time" 
option is used when making the spool request.  See your NetWare 
Command Line Utilities Manual for more information on the "time" 
option.  The DOS 2.X shell must have the "time" flag set or 
receive the "ENDSPOOL" command for despooling to occur.
