Subject: 1.99P under OS/2 warp sees Novell!
Sender: [e-mail]
Precedence: bulk

Hi,

I have a Thinkpad 750 that at my work sits in a dock 1 connected via a
Future Domain adapter in the dock to a 1 Gb HD and a CD-ROM. The whole is on
a ethernet via a PCMCIA card. Today I downloaded 1.99P and was able to get
it running again under OS/2 Warp. The latter has TCPIP 2.0 installed, as
well as Novell netware requester Now, what happened was the following:
When the browser appeared the network drives showed up in the active band!
However I could not get any files visible in an open window after clicking
on the drive icon. But, when I launched any program, e.g. TextEdit, I could
successfully load files from the network drives, as long as they were at the
root of the drive. When clicking on a folder it showed an error message in
the band where the name of the folder should have appeared.

So, this means that Executor, under Warp,  is almost network savvy! It looks
as if little hacking is needed to get it really running well. At present our
Novell server is not set up for a Mac environment. It will be in a month or
so. If on that new server files in folders become accessible, ARDI has a
very nice extra bell on Executor for people running Warp. Maybe Cliff and
friends can look into this, because, really, you are very near a working
network connection!

Keep up the good work!
