- !NetUtils
- =========
-
- !NetUtils is a patch utility to load the NetUtils, FilerUtil and BorderUtil
- modules.
-
- The NetUtils module is only required for machines using a Level 4 network
- (Econet or Ethernet) network with NetFS 5.78 (as supplied in the RISC OS 3
- Version 3.10 and 3.11 ROM). The NetUtils module ensures the correct
- behaviour of NetFS on extending files by 128K or more. Failure to use the
- NetUtils module may result in the loss or corruption of data. Note that it
- *is* still required with RISC OS 3.11 machines.
-
- This application also loads the FilerUtil patch for machines that are
- running an Acorn Access network or using the Application Accelerator. The
- patch prevents the error box "Illegal Window Handle" appearing if a filer
- dialogue box is open at the instant a Share or Unshare if made elsewhere on
- the network. It also loads the BorderUtil module that may prevent problems
- associated with 3D Templates; characterised by occasional machine lock ups.
-
- You should ensure that a directory containing !NetUtils has been seen before
- making significant use of the network (Level4 or Access). The easiest
- way to do this is to place !NetUtils where it will be 'seen' by any machine
- that uses the network, or ensure that it is run or Filer_Booted during
- client station start-up.
-
- The NetUtils module is not required if you only use !NFSFiler.
