The source code : For general interest. There is an old, but a very useful little utility /pc/sysutil/no.zip which excludes files from any operation one wants to perform (not just from del). The idea is simple. The files are hidden for the duration of the execution. ...................................................................

I have had problems with no.com in the context of novell server - mapped drives. Can someone confirm this? - Gary Chapman

This may reflect your problem with no.com under novell. In any case, it may be serious. I tried to mail/post this when my mailserver was down, but.... My newsserver died last Friday afternoon, but this may still be appropriate and "timely". I downloaded no.zip from garbo, and I discovered a serious error If this is not done, tsr fragmentation can cause the instruction at 26b to write into a completely different module (it stores it at 209 offset from no's environment segment, which could easily be in another program entirely.) A binary patch to no.com follows (all numbers are hex, and the first column is the byte offset in the file): 267 1E push ds 268 06 push es 269 1F pop ds 26A 07 pop es 26B 89 26 0209 mov 209,sp should be: 267 89 26 0209 mov 209,sp 26B 1E push ds 26C 06 push es 26D 1F pop ds 26E 07 pop es ------------------------------------------------------------------------ a_rubin@dsg4.dse.beckman.com My opinions are my own, and do not represent those of my employer. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ a_rubin@dsg4.dse.beckman.com My opinions are my own, and do not represent those of my employer.
