1) I used the Watcom version 11 compiler and the Novell NetWare SDK
|
|
from October 1998. You can get the latest NetWare SDK (free). Go to
|
|
http://developer.novell.com/ndk/netware.htm#C/C++ and look for "NLM and
|
|
NetWare Libraries for C (including CLIB and XPlat)"
|
|
|
|
2) The unzip.nlm runs in the same address space as the NetWare OS.
|
|
In other words, if unzip.nlm crashes, the server will most likely crash.
|
|
Therefore, I recommend you do not load unzip.nlm on a server that your
|
|
company depends on for business until it's been thoroughly tested on a
|
|
test server.
|
|
|
|
3) I've designed this unzip.nlm port to load on any version of NetWare
|
|
starting with NetWare 3.12. However, I've tested it only on NetWare 5.0.
|
|
If unzip.nlm does not load or run correctly, try the following in
|
|
this order:
|
|
|
|
a) Load clibaux.nlm version 1.21a or later before loading
|
|
unzip.nlm. The clibaux.nlm is part of the NetWare SDK package
|
|
mentioned above. It's also part of the 3.x C library package
|
|
mentioned below.
|
|
|
|
b) On NetWare 3.x, install the latest 3.x C library modules.
|
|
Go to http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw and look for
|
|
"NetWare 3.12/3.2 CLIB".
|
|
|
|
c) On NetWare 4.10, install the latest 4.10 C library modules.
|
|
Go to http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw and look for
|
|
"Updated modular CLIB and DSAPI".
|
|
|
|
d) On NetWare 4.11 and 4.2, install the latest support pack.
|
|
Go to http://support.novell.com/misc/patlst.htm#nw and look for
|
|
"NetWare 4 Support Pack".
|
|
|
|
4) This unzip.nlm assumes that support for the long name space (also
|
|
known as the OS/2 name space) has already been added to the current
|
|
working volume. If it has not, and the zip archive contains files with
|
|
long names, then the fopen() for such files will just fail. The code
|
|
does not attempt to rename the file to fit in a DOS-style name. The same
|
|
problem would occur with long directory names.
|
|
|
|
5) If unzip.nlm works correctly on NetWare 3.x (which it should,
|
|
but I've not tried it), it will create all files and directories with
|
|
all-uppercase names. The reason is that the NetWare 3.x C library does
|
|
not support creating mixed-case or lowercase file names, even in the long
|
|
(OS/2) name space.
|
|
|
|
6) To change the current working volume and current working directory
|
|
in which unzip.nlm loads and runs, load unzip.nlm like this:
|
|
|
|
load unzip <unzip options> (CLIB_OPT)/P<volume>:<directory>
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
load unzip archive.zip (CLIB_OPT)/Pvol1:\usr\home
|
|
|
|
For more information on CLIB_OPT, go to http://developer.novell.com/search/
|
|
and enter "CLIB_OPT" in the "Novell Developer Kit Search" box.
|
|
|
|
7) To find out more about clibaux.nlm, go to
|
|
http://developer.novell.com/search/ and enter "clibaux" in the "Novell
|
|
Developer Kit Search" box.
