| 6725 | siemargl | 1 | 1) I used the Watcom version 11 compiler and the Novell NetWare SDK |
| 2 | from October 1998. You can get the latest NetWare SDK (free). Go to |
||
| 3 | http://developer.novell.com/ndk/netware.htm#C/C++ and look for "NLM and |
||
| 4 | NetWare Libraries for C (including CLIB and XPlat)" |
||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | 2) The unzip.nlm runs in the same address space as the NetWare OS. |
||
| 7 | In other words, if unzip.nlm crashes, the server will most likely crash. |
||
| 8 | Therefore, I recommend you do not load unzip.nlm on a server that your |
||
| 9 | company depends on for business until it's been thoroughly tested on a |
||
| 10 | test server. |
||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | 3) I've designed this unzip.nlm port to load on any version of NetWare |
||
| 13 | starting with NetWare 3.12. However, I've tested it only on NetWare 5.0. |
||
| 14 | If unzip.nlm does not load or run correctly, try the following in |
||
| 15 | this order: |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | a) Load clibaux.nlm version 1.21a or later before loading |
||
| 18 | unzip.nlm. The clibaux.nlm is part of the NetWare SDK package |
||
| 19 | mentioned above. It's also part of the 3.x C library package |
||
| 20 | mentioned below. |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | b) On NetWare 3.x, install the latest 3.x C library modules. |
||
| 23 | Go to http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw and look for |
||
| 24 | "NetWare 3.12/3.2 CLIB". |
||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | c) On NetWare 4.10, install the latest 4.10 C library modules. |
||
| 27 | Go to http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw and look for |
||
| 28 | "Updated modular CLIB and DSAPI". |
||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | d) On NetWare 4.11 and 4.2, install the latest support pack. |
||
| 31 | Go to http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw and look for |
||
| 32 | "NetWare 4 Support Pack". |
||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 4) This unzip.nlm assumes that support for the long name space (also |
||
| 35 | known as the OS/2 name space) has already been added to the current |
||
| 36 | working volume. If it has not, and the zip archive contains files with |
||
| 37 | long names, then the fopen() for such files will just fail. The code |
||
| 38 | does not attempt to rename the file to fit in a DOS-style name. The same |
||
| 39 | problem would occur with long directory names. |
||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | 5) If unzip.nlm works correctly on NetWare 3.x (which it should, |
||
| 42 | but I've not tried it), it will create all files and directories with |
||
| 43 | all-uppercase names. The reason is that the NetWare 3.x C library does |
||
| 44 | not support creating mixed-case or lowercase file names, even in the long |
||
| 45 | (OS/2) name space. |
||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | 6) To change the current working volume and current working directory |
||
| 48 | in which unzip.nlm loads and runs, load unzip.nlm like this: |
||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | load unzip |
||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | For example: |
||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | load unzip archive.zip (CLIB_OPT)/Pvol1:\usr\home |
||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | For more information on CLIB_OPT, go to http://developer.novell.com/search/ |
||
| 57 | and enter "CLIB_OPT" in the "Novell Developer Kit Search" box. |
||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | 7) To find out more about clibaux.nlm, go to |
||
| 60 | http://developer.novell.com/search/ and enter "clibaux" in the "Novell |
||
| 61 | Developer Kit Search" box. |
