>>TITLE: NetLib encryption fails with 32BFA or
Novell Client32
>>PRODUCT(S):
NetLib 6.5x (or later) for Clipper
NetLib 2.5x (or later) for FoxPro DOS
>>PLATFORMS(S):
Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.11
Windows 95
>>SUMMARY:
NetLib's encryption may fail on a program running in
a DOS box on
one of the platforms listed above if 32BFA (32 Bit File
Access)
has been enabled.
>>MORE INFORMATION:
Windows 95 uses 32BFA by default, while it must be
explicitly enabled in WFW. 32BFA bypasses the
normal interrupt mechanism that NetLib uses to
perform encryption.
>>RESOLUTION/FIX:
A special VxD, NETLIB.386, has been created to
address this problem. If is available with NetLib 2.5
for FoxPro or NetLib 6.5 for Clipper. To use it, copy
it into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and add
the following line to the [386Enh] section of
SYSTEM.INI:
[386Enh]
DEVICE=NETLIB.386
Note: this should be done to the machine on which you
are installing your NetLib-based application, which
may or may not be the development machine.
Alternatively, if using WFW you may disable 32BFA
in the "386 Enhanced" section of Control Panel. We
do not recommend that you disable 32BFA on
Windows 95 as performance may seriously suffer.
