New Novell NetWare Files

Novell have just released the latest version of the DOS and Windows Client Upgrade kits......

DOSUP8.EXE contains updated files for IPX and ODI workstation drivers. This update has been placed in file area 37 of Apricot Insight BBS. Updated files include the following....

LSL.COM v2.05 previously in BSDUP2.EXE
IPXODI.COM v2.12 previously in BSDUP2.EXE
NETX.EXE v3.32 PTF not previously released (still does not support MS-DOS 6.20)
XMSNETX.EXE v3.32 PTF not previously released
EMSNETX.EXE v3.32 PTF not previously released
NETBIOS.EXE v3.14 not previously released

A number of the ODI LAN card drivers supplied by Novell have also been updated. More notably however is that Novell have withdrawn BNETX.EXE and PBURST.NLM from the kit after identifying 'a rare problem that can result in data corruption'. For full details, see DOSUP8.TXT.

WINUP8.EXE contains updated drivers and files for Windows 3.0/3.1 users. This update has been placed in file area 37 of Apricot Insight BBS. Updated files include the following....

NETWARE.DRV v2.02
VIPX.386 v1.17 previously released in BSDUP2.EXE
VNETWARE.386 v2.02 previously released in BSDUP2.EXE

Also, a number of the Novell supplied Windows DLL files have been updated. See WINUP8.TXT for full details of the updates.

Note however that if you are installing this update onto a Windows for Workgroups workstation, DO NOT update the file NETAPI.DLL, otherwise Windows will report a 'call to undefined Dynalink' message when starting up.

Also note that the NETWARE.DRV and NETWARE.HLP files should NOT be used on workstations running the newer VLM workstation shells, as these are for NETx based systems.

LANDR3.EXE contains the latest set of Novell supplied/certified server drivers for NetWare 3.11/3.12/4.01 and SFT III v3.11. The cards supported in this archive include all the NExxxx range of cards (such as the NE/2, the NE/2-32, the NE2000, the NE3200 and so on), along with Token Ring, TRXNET and PCN2L drivers. This update has been placed in file area 37 of Apricot Insight BBS.
