                      TECHNICAL BULLETIN


          TITLE: Using DR DOS LANPack
   DOCUMENT ID#: TB-M-0001
           DATE: 08SEPT92
        PRODUCT: DR DOS LANPack
PRODUCT VERSION:

Using NetWare DR DOS LANPack to prepare new, diskless and diskette only
workstations

Topics Covered:

1. Installing DR DOS 6.0 to workstations with new or unprepared hard drive
using LANPack

2. Configuring Remote Boot workstations with DR DOS 6.0 using LANPack

3. Installing DR DOS 6.0 to diskette only workstations using LANPack

Important additional information for all DR DOS LANPack users:

Appendix A: Mapping DR DOS 6.0 workstations to the DR DOS directory on the
file server

Appendix B: Mapping DR DOS 6.0 workstations to the proper temporary and
configuration directories



1. Installing DR DOS 6.0 to workstations with new or unprepared hard drive
using LANPack

LANPack can be used to install DR DOS 6.0 to a new or unprepared
workstation hard drive.  The instructions that follow illustrate how to
create a bootable DR DOS 6.0 diskette.  The diskette can then be used to
boot the workstation, login to a NetWare file server, and run the DR DOS
6.0 FDISK program to prepare the workstation hard drive.  (This same
diskette may also be used when configuring Remote Boot workstations and
diskette only workstations.)

Once such a workstation hard drive is properly prepared using FDISK, the
LANPack Remote Installation feature can be used to affect a complete DR DOS
6.0 installation to the hard drive.

1.1 Workstation boot diskette preparation

A bootable diskette can be created that logs a workstation into a known
file server and account to activate the LANPack installation program.  The
hard drive must be formatted with a DOS partition in order for the
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 6                    5 Dub 1994


installation process to work properly.  FDISK will prepare the drive
partitions and format the drive.  There is no need to run FORMAT after
running FDISK.

The boot diskette that is created should match the media format of the A:
drive of the workstation involved, 3 1/2" or 5 1/4".  The DR DOS 6.0 FORMAT
program should be used from a workstation with DR DOS 6.0 already installed
to prepare the boot diskette.  The FORMAT command should be used with the
/S switch as follows to ensure that the DR DOS 6.0 system files are copied
and that the diskette is made bootable:

FORMAT /S

1.2  Contents of the boot diskette

The prepared boot diskette should contain the following files:

File Names               Comments

IBMBIO.COM     DR DOS "BIOS" code (copied by FORMAT /S)

IBMDOS.COM     DR DOS "DOS" code (copied by FORMAT /S)

COMMAND.COM    DR DOS "Shell" code (copied by FORMAT /S)

CONFIG.SYS     Created by network administrator (see section 1.3)

AUTOEXEC.BAT   Created by network administrator (see section 1.4)

COUNTRY.SYS    Used to support international codepages and
               international date and time formats

EMM386.SYS     Memory manager driver for 80386/80486 systems

HIDOS.SYS      Memory manager driver for 8088/8086/80286 systems

PCKWIN.SYS     Driver for SuperPCKwik Windows 3.0/3.1 support

MEMMAX.EXE     Program to control use of Upper/Lower memory

LSL.COM        Link Support Layer driver

NE2000.COM     Driver for workstations using the NE2000 NIC (use
               alternate where appropriate)

IPXODI.COM     ODI IPX Protocol Stack driver

IPX.COM        IPX driver created by network administrator (see
               below)

EMSNETX.EXE    EMS memory aware NetWare shell

XMSNETX.EXE    XMS memory aware NetWare shell

NETX.COM       Standard NetWare Shell

DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 7                    5 Dub 1994


NET.CFG        Network adapter driver configuration file

You will need a bootable diskette of 720K or larger to hold all of the
files listed above.  If the workstations being used have only low density 5
1/4" (360K) drives, some of the files listed will have to be omitted.  As
it is most likely that only one of the three NetWare shells available
(EMSNETX.EXE, XMSNETX.EXE, and NETX.COM) will be used at any one time, it
is possible to choose only one of these three shells and still fit the
remainder of the files listed above onto a bootable diskette of 360K.

The majority of the files listed above can be copied from the directory on
the file server containing the DR DOS LANPack files.  IBMBIO.COM,
IBMDOS.COM, and COMMAND.COM will be copied automatically by the FORMAT /S
command.

ODI drivers such as LSL.COM, NE2000.COM, and IPXODI.COM are supplied with
the LANPack on the "DOS Workstation Services" diskette.  If the
workstations being used are not equipped with Novell / Eagle Ethernet
NE2000 Network Interface Cards (NICs), the appropriate ODI NIC driver must
be used instead of NE2000.COM.  Several ODI NIC drivers are included in the
"DOS Workstation Services" diskette.  The NIC manufacturer may also supply
an appropriate NIC driver for use with NetWare.   When using the ODI NIC
drivers and the non-default configuration settings for the NIC, a NET.CFG
file should also be created to indicate the type of NIC and it's
configuration.  A NET.CFG for an NE2000  might be:

Link driver NE2000
     INT 5
     PORT 320

Consult the NetWare documentation for more details on the use and format of
a NET.CFG file.

If it is necessary to use IPX.COM instead of the ODI drivers for IPX
support, IPX.COM must be generated for the workstation from the WSGEN
diskette provided with NetWare (see the NetWare documentation for more
information.)  The WSGEN utility uses a file called IPX.OBJ to generate
IPX.COM.  IPX.OBJ can be found in the NETWARE directory under the directory
on the file server containing the DR DOS LANPack files. Use this IPX.OBJ
file with WSGEN when a more recent version is not available.

1.3 Basic CONFIG.SYS

The following CONFIG.SYS file may be used with any type of DOS workstation,
regardless of processor type.  A more complex CONFIG.SYS file might, for
example, take into consideration the type of processor used by the
workstation so as to fully exploit the DR DOS memory management
capabilities.  Please consult the Technical Services Guide provided with DR
DOS LANPack for information on how to be obtain help with the creation of
more complex CONFIG.SYS files with DR DOS and refer to the example
CONFIG.SYS files in the EXAMPLES\NETWARE directory under the directory on
the file server containing the DR DOS LANPack files.

SHELL=COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P
BREAK=ON
HIBUFFERS=15
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 8                    5 Dub 1994


FASTOPEN=512
FCBS=4,4
FILES=20
LASTDRIVE=E
HISTORY=ON, 256, OFF, OFF, OFF
COUNTRY=001,,COUNTRY.SYS

1.4 Basic AUTOEXEC.BAT

The following AUTOEXEC.BAT  file may also be used with any type of DOS
workstation, regardless of processor type.  A more complex CONFIG.SYS file
might load other useful DR DOS utilities like TaskMAX or the disk cache
program.  Please consult the Technical Services Guide provided with DR DOS
LANPack for information on how to be obtain help with the creation of more
complex AUTOEXEC.BAT files with DR DOS and refer to the example files in
the EXAMPLES\NETWARE directory under the directory on the file server
containing the DR DOS LANPack files.

@ECHO OFF
LSL
NE2000
IPXODI
NETX
F:
LOGIN

Again, please recall that if the workstations being used are not equipped
with Novell / Eagle Ethernet NE2000 Network Interface Cards (NICs), the
appropriate ODI NIC driver must be used in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file instead of
NE2000.COM.

1.5 LANPack INSTALL configuration

Using a diskette prepared in the manner outlined above, it is possible to
use this diskette on multiple workstations simply to gain access to the
NetWare file server and install DR DOS remotely and automatically.

To prepare for this, the LANPack INSTALL command should be placed in the
system or user login script using the NetWare SYSCON utility.  For
installation of DR DOS onto these new workstations, the INSTALL program
requires the use of the /O- parameter, which prevents INSTALL from
attempting to save the old operating system files.  Also, the /Q parameter
should not be used because DR DOS will always be detected as "already
installed" when booting from the DR DOS diskette.  A typical system login
script for new workstation installation might be:

if  "%LOGIN_NAME" == "DRDOS"  then begin
     map root a:=SERVER1/SYS:DRDOS6
     drive a:
     #install /o- /a
     map del a:
     drive *1:
end

Automatic installation of DR DOS using the above login script is then
performed by booting the workstation with the prepared diskette and logging
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 9                    5 Dub 1994


into the file server as user DRDOS.  To accomplish this as in the above
example, it would be necessary to use the NetWare SYSCON utility to create
a generic user called DRDOS to be used for installation of DR DOS onto
workstations with newly reformatted hard drives.

NOTE: LANPack INSTALL normally checks the old AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS
for keyboard drivers and includes them in the new configuration.  For an
installation of DR DOS onto workstations with newly reformatted hard
drives, a keyboard driver is not installed causing DR DOS to use the
default US COUNTRY setting.  When using other COUNTRY settings, the
KEYB.COM program file should be added to the prepared diskette, and the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file should contain the KEYB command using the appropriate
country codes.  See the DR DOS 6.0 User Guide for more details on using the
KEYB command.

For more information on the LANPack installation procedures and login
scripts used with the LANPack, see the DR DOS LANPack Installation Guide.

2. Configuring Remote Boot workstations with DR DOS 6.0 using LANPack

DR DOS can be used to boot diskless workstations equipped Remote Boot NICs
on a network that may contain a mix of diskless workstations and other
types of workstations.  Many of the same features available when using a
boot diskette of the type described in the previous section are available
when using the Remote Boot option available with some NICs.  Such features
include advanced CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files which will take full
advantage of the features offered by DR DOS.

The network administrator may need to configure certain workstations using
the Remote Boot option in different ways.  Multiple configurations are
possible by generating separate Remote Boot images files for each
workstation requiring a unique configuration.  The Remote Boot loader on
the NetWare file server will send the different Remote Boot images to
different workstations according to the network node address at each
workstation.  Please refer to the NetWare documentation for more
information on the use of Remote Boot image files.

Multiple Remote Boot configurations will be generated by creating multiple
pairs of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and then folding them into
separate Remote Boot images.

2.1 Preparing a Remote Boot image

The procedure for preparing a single Remote Boot image file, or multiple
image files, for workstations are described clearly in the NetWare
documentation.  The following simply describes how the LANPack can be used
to configure workstations for Remote Boot program loading.

The person responsible for the creation of the Remote Boot image files will
need to have "SUPERVISOR" equivalent rights on the NetWare file server
involved in order to proceed.

Prepare a bootable DR DOS 6.0 diskette of the appropriate format, 3 1/2" or
5 1/4", by using the FORMAT.COM program in a process similar to that
described in section 1.1.  FORMAT should be used with the /S parameter to
make the diskette bootable.  Then copy all of the files listed in section
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 10                   5 Dub 1994


1.2 onto the diskette formatted with DR DOS.

Next, generate the DR DOS Remote Boot image or images (one or more
different copies of NET$DOS.SYS) as described in the NetWare documentation.

Depending on the type of diskette being used and list of files it contains,
the screen will look similar to this:

Floppy Type f9 = Quad Density, 15 Sectors per track
Total Floppy Space 2400 Sectors
Setting Up System Block
Setting Up FAT Tables
Setting Up Directory Structures
Traversing Directory Structures
Processing IBMBIO.COM
Processing IBMDOS.COM
Processing COMMAND.COM
Processing CONFIG.SYS
Processing AUTOEXEC.BAT
Processing COUNTRY.SYS
Processing EMM386.SYS
Processing HIDOS.SYS
Processing PCKWIN.SYS
Processing MEMMAX.EXE
Processing LSL.COM
Processing NE2000.COM
Processing IPXODI.COM
Processing IPX.COM
Processing EMSNETX.EXE
Processing XMSNETX.EXE
Processing NETX.COM
Processing NET.CFG
Transferring Data to "NET$DOS.SYS"

The Remote Boot image has to be modified using the RPLFIX.COM program to
ensure error free Remote Bott image loading, as described in the DR DOS
User Guide. The RPLFIX.COM program can be found in the NETWARE directory
under the LANPack directory on the file server.

The LOGIN directory on the file server and the default directory (reached
at the end of the user login process and normally the user's home
directory) should also contain a copy of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file used above.
This ensures that commands placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file after the LOGIN
command will be executed properly.  The DR DOS programs which may be used
by these commands will be located in the directory on the file server
containing the LANPack files and can be accessed from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
after setting the COMSPEC environment variable from within the system login
script, as described in section 2.2.

2.2 Login script for Remote Boot workstations

When a workstation is using DR DOS as the client operating system and the
Remote Boot image load program, it is important that that workstation be
properly identified and mapped to the DR DOS client files on the file
server so that it can use the server to access the DOS files and programs
instead of the local diskette drive.  Please see Appendix A and Appendix B
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 11                   5 Dub 1994

3. Installing DR DOS 6.0 to diskette only workstations using
LANPack

A diskette only workstation refers to machines with a single 3 1/2"
diskette drive or a single 5 1/4" diskette drive.

DR DOS 6.0 can be used to boot workstations on a network equipped with only
a single diskette drive.  It is possible to install DR DOS, and any
appropriate external DR DOS commands, onto the diskette used to boot the
workstations using the LANPack.

Typically, diskette only workstations will have a boot diskette in the A:
drive at all times.  The boot diskette will have a configuration very
similar to the diskette described in section 1.1 of this document.

Although it is best that this diskette be kept write protected to prevent
any accidental changes from being made to it during normal use, the
diskette must NOT be write protected when installing DR DOS onto the
diskette using the LANPack.

In order for a diskette only workstation to be truly upgraded to DR DOS,
the boot diskette must be updated with the DR DOS system files and
COMMAND.COM (done using the SYS.COM program over the network), and updated
with the latest version of NETX.COM.

3.1 Login script for diskette only workstations

The boot diskette used by diskette only workstations can be upgraded to DR
DOS 6.0 automatically using commands in the system login script.  In
addition to updating the diskette with the DR DOS 6.0 system files, any
other relevant external commands or utilities can be updated as shown
below.

Having upgraded diskette only workstations with DR DOS, it is important
that the workstations be properly identified and mapped to the DR DOS
client files on the file server so that they can use the server to access
the DOS files and programs.  Please see Appendix A and Appendix B for
information on how to accomplish this.

A typical system login script for the DR DOS 6.0 diskette upgrade using
LANPack will make use of the modified DR DOS LANPack SYS.COM and XCOPY.COM
programs, and the NetWare utility WSUPDATE.EXE.  Please note that the SYS
command must be used with the undocumented /16V switch, and it must also be
used after the XCOPY commands in order to successfully create a DR DOS
bootable diskette.

if "%LOGIN_NAME" = "DISKETTE" then begin
     map root z:=SERVER1/SYS:DRDOS6
     drive z:
     #sys a: /16v
     #xcopy IBM*.* a: /h /r
     #xcopy COMMAND.COM a:
     #wsupdate /f=z:\WSUPDATE.CFG
     map del z:
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 12                   5 Dub 1994


     drive *1:
end

To accomplish this as in the above example, it would be necessary to use
the NetWare SYSCON utility to create a group called DISKETTE consisting of
all users with diskette only workstations on the network.

The file WSUPDATE.CFG is a simple text file which contains the names of
files to be updated on the boot diskette.  Refer to the NetWare
documentation for more information on the use of the WSUPDATE.EXE program.
Such a file should contain, but not necessarily be limited to, the
following:

Z:NETWARE\NETX.COM A:NETX.COM /C /O /S
Z:NETWARE\NETX.COM A:NET3.COM /C /O /S
Z:NETWARE\NETX.COM A:NET4.COM /C /O /S
Z:NETWARE\NETX.COM A:NET5.COM /C /O /S
Z:NETWARE\EMSNETX.EXE A:EMSNETX.EXE /C /O /S
Z:NETWARE\XMSNETX.EXE A:XMSNETX.EXE /C /O /S
Z:EMM386.SYS A:EMM386.SYS /C /O /S
Z:HIDOS.SYS A:HIDOS.SYS /C /O /S
Z:MEMMAX.EXE A:MEMMAX.EXE /C /O /S

NOTE: Check to make sure that the version of the WSUPDATE.EXE program on
the file server is v3.56 or later before using WSUPDATE.EXE for diskette
only workstation installations.  The directory information for WSUPDATE.EXE
MUST match the information below:

27,356   6-25-91   2:35p  DC3F  wsupdate.exe

Please obtain the correct, most recent copy of WSUPDATE.EXE from a Novell
reseller, distributor, Novell representative, or from NETWIRE on
CompuServe, if it does not appear on the file server as shown above.  The
name of the update file to obtain is WSUPDT.ZIP.

More information on using DR DOS 6.0 and NetWare can be found by consulting
the Technical Services Guide provided with the DR DOS LANPack.



Appendix A: Mapping DR DOS 6.0 workstations to the DR DOS
directory on the file server

When setting up a NetWare file server, it is normal for the network
administrator to create a directory structure on the server's hard drive
which contains all the various DOS operating system files for all the DOS
operating systems being used by the network DOS clients.  This is done to
accommodate clients without a local hard drive so that such clients can use
the server to access the DOS files and programs instead of the local
diskette drive.

If a workstation is using DR DOS as the client operating system without a
local hard drive, as would some workstations configured as described in
this document, it is important that that workstation be properly identified
and mapped to the DR DOS client files on the file server so that it can use
the server to access the DOS files and programs instead of the local
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 13                   5 Dub 1994


diskette drive.  This section describes how this can be done.

NOTE: It is recommended that the original directory on the file server
containing the LANPack files (described in examples above as
SERVER1/SYS:DRDOS6) be maintained and a new directory be created for use by
clients who do not have their own hard drive.  The new directory might be
 similar to SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC\DRDOS\6.0.  The new directory should be an
exact copy the original directory except for the following changes: 1) the
CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, NOVELL.LOG, STARTUP, and VMAX files should be
removed, and 2) the INSTALL.EXE program should be renamed to SETUP.EXE.

A file server serving clients using two DOS operating systems, say MS DOS
3.30 and COMPAQ DOS 3.31, will have two directories which contain all the
operating system files that would be contained in the client DOS
directories on a local hard drive.  These directories might have paths on
the server like SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC/MSDOS/V3.30 and
SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC/COMPAQ/V3.31.

When a client running MS DOS 3.30 attaches to this file server and logs
into this environment, it is important that the client DOS PATH and COMSPEC
variables be adjusted to "point" (or MAP) to the server copy of the client
DOS.  This is normally accomplished by the network administrator through
changes and adjustments to the system login script.

Normally, a line like MAP INS S2:=SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC/%OS/%OS_VERSION in the
system login script will handle the mapping to the correct client DOS
directory on the file server properly.  When DR DOS is the DOS client
operating system, however, the %OS and %OS_VERSION variables actually
return MS DOS and v3.31 respectively.  It is obvious how this may cause
confusion.

The DR DOS operating system is most compatible with MS DOS/COMPAQ DOS
version 3.3X.  It is for this reason that DR DOS appears to the NetWare
operating system to be MS DOS 3.31. As a result, both COMPAQ DOS 3.31 and
DR DOS 6.0 will end up being mapped to the same directory on the NetWare
file server. In order to prevent conflicts, a little extra work is required
when writing the system login script.

Because the DR DOS client operating system actually maintains two
environment variables called OS and VER which equal DRDOS and 6.0
respectively, it is actually possible to test the DOS client operating
system in the login script to determine if the DOS client is running COMPAQ
DOS 3.31 or DR DOS 6.0.  Once the DR DOS client is detected, the login
script should map the client to a directory with the following path:

SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC/DRDOS/6.0

The following sample portions of a system login script explains and
implements such a technique.  The first few lines establish environment
variables OS and VER if the DOS client is NOT running DR DOS.  That is, any
DOS client operating system other than DR DOS does not already maintain the
DOS environment variables OS and VER, and as a result, they need to be set.

if <OS> != "DRDOS" then begin
     dos set OS="%OS"
     dos set VER="%OS_VERSION"
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 14                   5 Dub 1994


end

All that's left to be done is to map the DOS client using the DOS
environment variables <OS> and <VER>.

map ins s2:=SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC/%<OS>/%<VER>
COMSPEC=s2:COMMAND.COM

The above portions of the system login script would result in a
drive mapping for Compaq DOS 3.31 of
SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC\MSDOS\3.31 and a drive mapping for DR DOS 6.0
of SERVER1/SYS:PUBLIC\DRDOS\6.0.

Please see Appendix B for additional information on mapping
workstations without a local hard drive to the proper DOS client
files on a file server.



Appendix B: Mapping DR DOS 6.0 workstations to the proper temporary and
configuration directories

If a workstation is using DR DOS as the client operating system without a
local hard drive, as would some workstations configured as described in
this document, it is important that that workstation be properly identified
and mapped to the DR DOS client files on the file server so that it can use
the server to access the DOS files and programs instead of the local
diskette drive.  Appendix A describes how this can be done using the system
login script.  There are a couple of other issues that should be considered
for such workstations in addition to those described in Appendix A.

DR DOS itself and some of the DR DOS utilities are designed to use two DR
DOS specific DOS environment variables to control their operation.  One
environment variable, TEMP, is used to specify a path to which DR DOS
should write temporary swap files.  (This same variable can be used by
other applications like Windows.)  The second variable, DRDOSCFG, is used
to specify a path where DR DOS and some of the DR DOS utilities will find
configuration files.  (The DR DOS configuration files have a file extension
of .INI and are found in the directory on the file server containing the
LANPack file.)

Workstations without a local hard drive will need to use
non-default settings for these DOS environment variables for DR
DOS and the DR DOS utilities to function properly.  It is
recommended that the TEMP and DRDOSCFG variables be set to a
path in the individual user directory.  (It is common that a
directory similar to SERVER1/SYS:USERS\JSCOTT be available for
each user on the file server.  This example is the path to the
directory used by user JSCOTT.)

It would be helpful to create two new directories in each user directory
for this purpose.  As an example, SERVER1/SYS:USERS\JSCOTT\DRDOSTMP could
be used for the temporary files, and SERVER1/SYS:USERS\JSCOTT\DRDOSCFG
could be used for the configuration files.  These directories could be
created for all users on a file server, but those users with workstations
not equipped with a local hard drive will be most in need of them.
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 15                   5 Dub 1994


These special, non-default settings for these variables could be set in the
portion of the system login script described above in Appendix A.  For
example, add the following login script excerpt to the one in Appendix A:

if <OS> = "DRDOS" then begin
     if member of "DISKLESS" then begin
          map z:=SERVER1/SYS:USERS\%LOGIN_NAME
          dos set TEMP="z:\DRDOSTMP"
          dos set DRDOSCFG="z:\DRDOSCFG"
     end
end

There are number of places where such DOS environment variables might be
set, of these, the system login script is probably most convenient.  To
accomplish this as in the above example, it would be necessary to use the
NetWare SYSCON utility to create a group called DISKLESS consisting of all
users with diskless or diskette only workstations on the network.

The DOS environment variables might also be set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on
the diskette only workstation boot diskette, or in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in
the Remote Boot image(s) created for workstations using Remote Boot image
load.

     When installing Novell DOS 7 to a Windows 3.x configured
     machine, changes are made to the Windows configuration for
     the network interface to PERSONAL NetWare (or any network)
     and to add Fastback (backup utility) and Search and Destroy
     (virus checking utility).

     When a user experiences a change or loss of a certain
     Windows action after installing Novell DOS 7, the function
     should be checked to these alterations.

     Changes are made to three .INI files; WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI
     and PROGMAN.INI.  These three files are saved with the
     filename extension .ND7 before being edited.  The line
     changes are as follows:

     NOTE:     The semicolon (;) in the following lines
               represents a comment or remark line.  They are
               used to provide information about the preceding
               line.  They do not actually appear in the files.

          displayed.  No functionality change.

     FILES DELETED

     With new functions of Novell DOS 7, files must be added to
     reflect these utilities.  Some files were deleted to reduce
     confusion.  Deleted files are the same as Novell DOS 7
     commands.  None of the deleted files are saved under any new
     filename.  The list below reflects these changes.

     \WINDOWS\SETUP.HLP
     ;    Known problem for running Windows setup that F1 help
          key is not supported with this file deleted.

     \WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
     ;    Parameter (switches) for MS DOS file must be matched
          with equivalent Novell DOS 7 file or functionality
          change will result.

     ;    Parameter (switches) for MS DOS file must be matched

          with equivalent Novell DOS 7 file or functionality
          change will result.

     FILES OVERWRITTEN

     When these files are overwritten for Novell network
     operation, functionality problems with other installed
     networks may arise.  Original Windows files are saved as new
     file names with an @ sign as the first character of the file
     name.

                        Hack Report, September 1993

  HW Richard Steiner forwarded a message from the ILink Shareware_Support
  conference by Bob Feldman concerning an archive named HSDIAG.  Bob stated
  that this file is a Trojan.  Bob posted further details on the ILink
  Virus conference (forwarded by HW Bill Lambdin), and also sent a copy of
  the file to R. Wallace Hale, SysOp of the Driftnet BBS ((506)325-9002).
  Mr. Hale did preliminary testing of the file, and was able to determine
  that it will at least try to overwrite the first 255 sectors on the first
  eight drives in a system, including floppy drives.  For the full text of
  Mr. Hale's report, as forwarded by HW Bill Lambdin and James FitzGibbon
  (1:250/301), please obtain the archive version of The Hack Report and see
  the file HSDIAG.RES, located inside the internal archive FILETSTS.LZH.


  HW Jeff White received a file for testing called ANSIVIEW.COM, which has
  apparently been seen inside a couple of archives, most often ANSI
  collections.  The copy Jeff received for testing is infected with the
  AIDS [N1] virus, and cannot be disinfected by either McAfee's Clean-Up or
  the AIDSOUT utility.  The infection is detectable by McAfee's SCAN.  Yet
  another of The Hack Squad's 2048 reasons to check everything you download
  for viruses.


  HW Scott Raymond has cleared up a discrepancy that I had in previous
  reports concerning the file BWAVE_3.  This was listed as a hack of the
  Blue Wave Offline Reader, but according to the report received by Scott
  from a user in Australia, the file is actually a Trojan.  The user in
  Australia reported that the Trojan trashed partitions and boot sectors,
  in addition to attacking RemoteAccess BBS data files.  According to
  Scott, this is the same file reported by Frans Hagelaars (2:512/2).
  Please note that this Trojan was discovered prior to the release of
  BWAVE212, version 2.12 of the reader.

  More Australian sightings come from Greg Miller (3:711/454), via HW
  Emanuel Levy, and Nigel Hunt (3:712/218).  No archive name was given, but
  the file again claimed to be version 3.0 of Blue Wave.  It didn't exhibit
  any dangerous behaviour, but it does seem to at least be related to the
  above file:  it doesn't do QWK packets (v2.12 does), and it has no delay
  screen for unregistered users.


  Vincent Aniello (aniello@gauss.rutgers.edu) reported a "back door" for
  use when logging onto Renegade BBS systems.  This file, RGBACKDR, claims
  to allow you to log onto any Renegade board with SysOp privileges.
  Instead, it makes a beeline for several key files on _your_ system and
  deletes them.  For the full text of the test results, as performed by HW
  Jeff White of The Pueblo Group, see the file RGBACKDR.RES in the archive
  FILETSTS.LZH, found in the archive version of The Hack Report.


DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 25                   5 Dub 1994


  Maynard Marquis (1:141/328) forwarded a message to the FidoNet Int'l Echo
  WARNINGS from Joel Lambert about a file called TW-CHEAT.  This claims to
  be a cheat file for Tradewars 2002, and contains the following files:

                  TW-CHEAT EXE      6306 03-09-93   9:47p
                  SIN      COM       535 03-09-93   9:47p

  He did not say which file he ran, but one of these displayed "some
  unrelated menu" and then returned to DOS.  Apparently, Joel later
  rebooted, at which point the BOOTSAFE program (part of Central Point
  Antivirus) reported that his system had been infected with the Tequila
  virus.  Fortunately, he was able to remove the infection.  He hopes.  I
  hope so too, for his sake.


  Michael Heinbockel (2:242/316) found a file on a BBS in Hamburg, Germany,
  called PARITY.  This file renames your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to AUTOEXEC.BAK,
  creates a new AUTOEXEC.BAT file with the single line C:\DOS\PARITY.EXE,
  and then tries to copy itself to your C:\DOS\ directory.  It usually
  hangs the system during the copy attempt, resulting in the file not being
  copied.  It may be a Trojan that doesn't work, but it is still a Trojan.


  Several reports came in on yet another Trojan attack against McAfee's
  SCAN - this time, under the filename SCANV103.  The first report came via
  Eugene Woiwod (Eugen_Woiwod@mindlink.bc.ca), and full test results were
  later received from Bill Logan of The Pueblo Group (via HW Jeff White).
  As a result of this Trojan, McAfee Associates decided to skip version
  number 103, using number 104 as the release which followed SCANV102.  For
  a full text of Bill's test results, see the file SCANV103.RES in the
  archive FILETSTS.LZH, found in the archive version of The Hack Report.


  Staale Fagerland (staale.fagerland@euronetis.no) reported a file called
  CES_402, which claimed to be an antiviral program.  However, the archive
  contains two files (CES.COM and DONT_!) which are quite suspicious.
  Staale ran the CES.COM file through a program called CHK4BOMB and
  discovered that it uses ROM BIOS routines for direct disk access.  The
  file DONT_! contains several messages that relate to corrupting your FAT,
  partition table, etc., and the message, "Mate(s), it simply makes sense,
  make a backup...".


  Ashley Kleynhans (5:7101/55) reports a Trojan called DREAMDEM, which
  claims to be a demo of some sort by a computer group.  According to
  Ashley, the group named in the file descriptions is not responsible for
  creating this Trojan.  When run, the file displays several messages,
  including ones like, "found PC Speaker," "Found porno GIFs," etc., and
  finally asks whether or not you have a sound card.  Ashley answered Yes
  to this question, and received the response, "OH by the way, I trashed
  your hard disk about a minute ago."

  Ashley immediately did a DIR command on the C: drive and saw no immediate
  damage.  However, the entire disk was gone after a system reset.  Ashley
  says this is because the Trojan deletes both your hard disk partition
  table and your boot sector.  I'm not sure if this is right, but I
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 26                   5 Dub 1994


  wouldn't want to try it out on my system to verify Ashley's findings.

  Here is the internal file info:

                  CHECKANS COM      3585 03-10-93   2:43p
                  VGADEMO  EXE      8892 04-17-93   7:45p
                  START    BAT        17 04-17-93   1:33p

  Ian Douglas (5:7102/119) forwarded further information on what appears to
  be the same file from a report by Shane Greyvenstein (5:7102/119).  This
  file, called VGADEM1, apparently managed to delete a lot of Shane's files
  before he could stop it:  fortunately, it doesn't appear to have trashed
  Shane's disk.  However, Shane's test revealed that the file was written
  using two packages called "IntroMaker v3.0" and "Mod-OBJ," but that the
  files are encrypted so that the copyright messages for these two packages
  are not visible until after they are decrypted by the host program.


  Brent Thomas (1:202/226) says in the FidoNet DIRTY_DOZEN echo that his
  system was "taken down" by a file called DRAGON.  It claimed to be a
  Public Domain VGA and Sound Blaster supported game.  No symptoms were
  reported, except that he had to reformat his hard drive.

  Penny Nebrich (1:369/101) confirms this, saying that the program that was
  affected was one called Dragon's Shard.  She states that it "created what
  looked like infinite subdirectories with binary names of I think it was a
  dir name of 8 chars. McAfee's scan and Virucide just got stuck in an
  infinite loop. I had to reformat my drive."

  Bill Roark (RIME Shareware conference, via HW Richard Steiner) verifies
  that there is a legitimate file called Dragon's Shard, available under
  the filename DRAGON21.  He also states that the real program is not
  public domain, but shareware instead.

  So, what we have here would seem to be a pair of isolated incidents of
  an altered version of a legitimate program.  As the documentation Bill
  forwarded states, if you feel you have an altered copy of the program,
  contact the publishers with your information.  They can be reached at:

                           Bit Brother Software
                           c/o Michael Ramsey
                           #2 Winged Foot Way
                           Littleton CO 80123


  Josh Burke (1:138/174) reports, via Charlie Sheridan (1:356/18), Travis
  Griggs (1:3807/8), and HW Bob Seaborn, a problem with the file PHYLOX2.
  In what might be an isolated incident, Josh says the file claimed to be a
  "really cool game, VGA gfx and SB sound."  However, the INSTALL program
  destroys hard disks.

  Bob Seaborn received a copy of this file and forwarded it to me - I in
  turn forwarded it to Bill Logan and HW Jeff White for testing.  As it
  turns out, there is an internal file called SETUP.EXE that is identical,
  byte for byte, with the file INSTALL.EXE.  Both will trash your hard
  drive with amazing speed, according to HW Jeff White.  Also, the file
DA(m)N NEWS 2-06                   Str. 27                   5 Dub 1994


  PHYLOX.EXE is flagged as a possible infected file.  For a full text of
  the test results, see the file PHYLOX.RES in the internal archive
  FILETSTS.LZH, found in the archive version of The Hack Report.


  Ryan Tucker (1:290/10) forwards a message from a fellow SysOp, Robert
  Pedersen, about ASM2PAS.  This claims to create Pascal source code from
  an .EXE file.  However, from text inside the executable, it appears that
  this program tries to delete your DOS directory.  It also brags about a
  certain anti-viral scanner not being able to detect it.

  Valid point, that:  practically _no_ anti-viral tools detect Trojans,
  with the exception of Frisk's F-Prot and one or two others.  Even then,
  the Trojan detection is not complete.  Your best protection against
  Trojans is a religiously maintained set of backups, preferably done after
  a check for viruses on your hard drive(s).


  HW Richard Steiner forwarded a message from the America OnLine GEOWORKS
  forum about the file GEOCOMM.  The message, from "GW Steve" (a "GeoRep",
  according to Richard), came from a user of GeoComm named J. S. James, and
  warned that this archive contains a hacked version of the original
  GeoComm program.  The file claims to be an "update," but it seems to be a
  Trojan which will damage your File Allocation Table (FAT).  Not a file to
  be kept around, it would seem.


  HW Bill Lambdin reports on LAW22 (no description), which contains the
  following files:

       Length    Date    Time    CRC-32  Attr  Name
       ------    ----    ----   -------- ----  ----
        22911  02-24-93  14:13  a4b84cc7 --w-  ABOUT.COM

        36459                                        3

  Bill says that ABOUT.COM contains a virus. Scan 102 labels it as BA101,
  which is a 160 byte-long .COM file infector.  This could be an isolated
  incident of an infected legitimate file, so thoroughly check any such
  file you find that has the above files in it before you kill it.


  Another report from Mr. Lambdin concerns a file that a user in the
  Intelec PC-Security conference sent to him, called PCS204 (PC-Sentry
  v2.04).  Bill's tests show that this copy of the archive contains two
  files, INSTALSW.COM and EVERYDAY.COM, that are infected with a
  non-resident "companion" virus that utilizes the Mutation Engine.  It
  also contains the file PCS.EXE, which is infected with a virus created by
  a virus-writing group's "Mass Produce Code Generator."


  Bill also reports that our old friend, the Power Pump virus, has
  resurfaced inside a file called FX2.  Here's the archive info:

  The giveaway here is the file POWER.EXE.  For a full documentation of the
  Power Pump virus, please see the 1992 Full Archive Edition of The Hack
  Report (filename HACK92FA), available from most official distribution
  sites.


  Travis Griggs (1:3807/8) forwarded a report from a local board called The
  Forum (phone number 1-318-528-2107) by a user named Susan Pilgreen. The
  message referred to a file called BOUNCE, which she said was infected
  with the Beeper (Russian Mirror) virus.  The file, according to Travis,
  claimed to be a game.  Travis has now forwarded the file information on

  "This virus is self-encrypting, but does not use any stealth techniques
  (as far as I've seen). It doesn't appear to infect the boot record, or
  the boot partition record. It does not appear to infect .SYS files, or
  .OV? files.

  "If you feel you have been infected, examine any EXE or COM files that you
  believe are infected. Check the 4th and 5th bytes in a COM file for the

  characters "BA". If you find a file like this, chances are you have been
  infected."

SQZMEM.CMD v1.00b

AUTHOR: Andrew McElroy (RIME OS/2 Conference NODE "->MIDAS")


PURPOSE: Cause RAM Compression under OS/2 2.x.

 NOTES:
 - The program will report a size that the swap file grew to when it ends.
   However, the swap file may actually grow larger after the program reports
   it's findings.  This is normal.
 - Before running this program, you should be sure there is sufficient room
   for the swap file to grow by approximate 2-6MB.
 - The location of the swapper file MUST be customized for each system in
   order for this to work.  This is done because on some systems, there can
   be more than one SWAPPER.DAT file due to not deleting the old one after
   changing CONFIG.SYS to point to a new location.
                               ----------

OS/2 CHALKS UP WIN 100 AWARD


IBM'S OS/2 NAMED ONE OF THE BEST WINDOWS PRODUCTS OF THE YEAR


     AUSTIN, Texas, March 9, 1994 ... Catapulting to the top of
the competitive operating systems category, IBM's OS/2* captured
WINDOWS Magazine's "WIN 100 Award."  Named one of the best
Windows** products of the year, IBM's award-winning, 32-bit
operating system beat Windows NT for this year's recognition.

     The WIN 100 Awards are selected by the editors of WINDOWS
Magazine annually, recognizing the top 100 Windows hardware and
software products of the year.

     "IBM's desktop operating system comes of age in a version
that provides performance equal to (and in some cases, better
than) Windows 3.1 while running Windows applications," said Jake
Kirchner, the magazine's executive editor.  "It's not surprising
that WINDOWS Magazine chose OS/2 2.1 for a WIN 100 Award this
year.  OS/2 supports Windows 3.0 and 3.1 applications in Standard
and Enhanced mode and offers 32-bit processing."

     Wally Casey, director of marketing for IBM's Personal
Software Products division noted, "OS/2 has been designed as an
integrating platform with capabilities to support DOS/Windows as
well as OS/2 applications.  OS/2's popularity continues to surge
due to strong customer demand, especially with the recent
introduction of OS/2 for Windows.  By giving OS/2 the WIN 100
Award, the editors of WINDOWS Magazine acknowledge the
industry-wide acceptance of OS/2 as the 32-bit operating system
of choice, even among Windows users."

     OS/2, like Windows, is an operating environment for PCs.
OS/2, however, not only runs DOS and Windows applications, but it
runs several at the same time, and in many cases faster than in
Windows.  In addition, OS/2 allows users to run the latest 32-bit
applications.  OS/2 for Windows provides this same capability to
users who already own Windows 3.1.  For the price of Windows or
DOS utilities, users get better performance, fewer crashes, and
true multitasking.

     IBM's Personal Software Products division, headquartered in
Austin, Texas, is an industry leader in the development of
operating systems, including PC DOS and OS/2, as well as
networking software and other advanced technologies.

ARTICLE-ID:Q95997
TITLE     :DELTREE: No Error Message If Directory Does Not Exist

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:

When the DELTREE.EXE command is executed on a directory that does not
exist, no error message is displayed and you are returned to the
MS-DOS prompt. This behavior can be misleading if you mistype a
directory name--since no error message is displayed, you may think
that the directory you were trying to delete was successfully deleted.

More Information:

If the directory you want to delete is specified correctly with the
DELTREE.EXE command, you will receive the following message:

   Delete directory <DirectoryName> and all of its subdirectories?
   [yn]

where <DirectoryName> is the name of the directory you want to delete.
You are required to answer "y" to delete the entire subdirectory or
"n" to cancel the operation.

For more information on the DELTREE command, type "HELP DELTREE"
(without the quotation marks) at the command prompt.

EMOTICON.1

To help telecom-sters clarify just how humorous their postings are
intended to be, here is a collection of the many faces of humor,
emoticon-style.

emoticon: n. a figure created with the symbols on a keyboard that
          is read with the head tilted to the left. Used to convey
          the spirit in which a line of text was typed.
