-
- This patch, NDINT2F is intended for NetWare v2.2 for the 5, 10, 50, and 100
- user versions. This patch fixes a problem with the int 2F handler on the
- non-dedicated DOS process of a file server. For certain values of AH, int 2F
- will cause the server to ABEND with the message: "Invalid semaphore state
- on other process release." This interrupt 2F conflict occurs between the 286
- OS (non-dedicated) and certain other applications that use 2F. The problem
- was discovered when using a Cobol compiler and Cobol applications on a
- non-dedicated server; other applications that require int 2F may also require
- this patch.
-
- The patch program NDINT2F.EXE is menu driven and contains instructions
- as well as an explanation of the patch. To apply the patch to NET$OS.EXE or
- NET$OS.OBJ simply run the patch program (NDINT2F.EXE) in the directory
- containing the file to be patched.
-
- Installation:
-
- To patch the NET$OS.EXE directly:
- 1) Make a backup copy of the existing NET$OS.EXE.
- 2) Copy NDINT2F.EXE onto the diskette where the NET$OS.EXE resides.

- 1) Make a backup copy of the existing NONDEDOS.OBJ.
- 2) Copy NDINT2F.EXE onto the diskette where the NET$OS.EXE resides.
