- Description of OPENFIX patch utility:
-
-
- OPENFIX.EXE is a patch utility that modifies the SERVER.EXE file of
- NetWare 386 v3.0. Some applications open the same file more than once
- within the program. If the application opens the file with different access
- rights (or fewer access rights) the next time, the rights granted during the
- latest OPEN will overwrite the previous access rights. For example, if a file
- is opened with Read\Write access rights the first time, then is opened again
- with only the Read access right, the file opened first will no longer have the
- Write access right when the second file is closed. This problem only occurs if
- the same file is being opened a second time without closing it the first time.
-
- Applications that receive the resulting ACCESS DENIED error from NetWare
- may interpret this differently and give the user inaccurate error messages.
- The AccPac software by Computer Associates, for example, returns a DISK FULL
- error when this occurs. Other applications may return different error messages.
-
- Future versions of NetWare 386 will already have this fix implemented.
- This patch will only work for NetWare 386 v3.0.
-
-
- Instructions for use:
-
-
- Copy OPENFIX.EXE into the same directory as SERVER.EXE and type
- OPENFIX. The program will patch the file and notify the user when finished.
