- Title: PC-Net Shell Driver Correction
-
- A problem has been found with the workstation shell driver for
- Orchid Technology, Santa Clara Systems and AST PC-Net. The
- problem appears when a workstation is running an application such as
- Word Perfect or Lotus 123. If the workstation is left without any
- activity for five to ten minutes while running either of those
- applications, the workstation will hang, leaving all the files open on
- the server. In order to clear the hang the station must be re-booted.
-
- This problem is corrected by replacing the "SHELLDRV.OBJ" with a
- corrected version. This correction is available from Novell Field
- Service or from the Novell NetWare Center without cost. The new
- driver is installed as follows:
-
- 1.Locate your working copy of the "GENSH-1" diskette.
-
- 2.Copy the new "SHELLDRV.OBJ" file into the "PCNET"
- directory replacing the earlier version.
-
- 3.Re-link your workstation shells in the ordinary manner.
- This will link new shells with the corrected driver.
-
- 4.Use these new shells and/or the NETBIOS emulator instead
- of the old ones.
-
- Santa Clara and Orchid Technology customers may receive correct
- copies for their respective versions by contacting Orchid or Santa
- Clara Systems.
