[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Help w/MAKE in a Novell network

lietb@killer.UUCP (Tjeng-Bo Lie) (01/28/88)

I'm posting this for a friend that doesn't have access to USENET, here goes:

Anybody aware of a problem with MicroSoft's MAKE utility (distributed along
with their MASM 5.0) freezing when Novell's ANET3 is running?

The sympton is that when ANET3 is running, even if not logged in to the network
MAKE will attemp to execute the first line (usually a compile) and then just
freeze after it finishes.  Fortunately it doesn't have to be cold-booted, a
warm-boot will do.  Then when you re-invoke MAKE, it will attempt to execute
the next line (usually a link) and will give a STACK overflow error.
Everything is fine without ANET3 running.

Novell NetWare 286 v2.0a is the one involved.

Any hints/suggestions will be appreciated.
Please e-mail since I don't subscribe to these newsgroup.

The solution is easy.  Call novell (or your local users group/dealer) and ask
him for the ++ shell (plus, plus) for anet.  There is a interrupt conflict int
the old version of the shell (which was fixed over a year ago, perhaps
longer).

Hope that helps.
