=================================================================
NLM 4.1e
1. OFS would report a D107 error and send an Admin message when a PURGE_LIN
action was being processed in a Server-Always environment. This was unnecessary
since all that was requested was a record to be deleted, which had been deleted
already
2. MSIP would stop processing requests at times when running on SMP
3. Fixes semaphore abends when multiple copies of OFS are running on one
server. Global semaphores are now used
4. Fixes a logging problem where long lines of text caused an abend
NLM 4.1d
1. Upon deleting the last Post Office from a Domain, a Page Fault Processor
Exception error would occur on the NGWADS-MaintThrd process.
2. When running a server-based OFCheck on users with extended characters in
their UserID, OFS could cause a Page Fault Processor Exception abend in the
NGWOFS-Handler process

=================================================================
OFCheck
=================================================================
OFCheck 4.1e
1. Fixes a problem in which OFCheck would hang when reading the OFFILES
directory during a contents check
2. Splash screen now shows "Novell Inc."
OFCheck 4.1d
1. D107 problems generated by Auto-dated messages after Expire/Reduce has been
used
2. Checks for adequate disk space during execution
3. Fixes "Error 44" when checking UserIDs that contain multinational
characters
4. Report DRNs of records generating C037 errors
5. BATCH mode processing requires a password "via /PWD- switch" if the host is
password protected
6. Summary Log now shows "GroupWise System Information" instead of "Office
System Information"
OFCheck 4.1b
1. When using the Expire option for an entire post office (User = "all"), it
detects and deletes orphaned records in message databases and orphaned files in
the OFFILES directory and recovers wasted storage space
2. Prevents deletions of new attachment files (files created within the last
six hours at the time OFCheck checks them). Those files are stored in the
OFFILES directory structure
3. Verification record validation - detects and reports security violations
(D115 - renamed databases)
4. Detects and deletes extremely large (invalid) notify files in the OFNOTIFY
directory
5. Detects and corrects folders linked to themselves instead of valid parent
6. Resolves un-owned files by setting file ownership to Supervisor

8. Shows FIDs and DiskIDs for all users during summary stats.
9. Correctly reports recovered records following structural rebuilds
10. Cleans up expired server log files
11. Better timesharing for server execution and callbacks for server
termination
12. Fixes low-level database code to ignore encryption bytes in WP headers
13. Fixes low-level database code to delete records in extreme cases
14. Fixes low-level database code to recover additional records during rebuild
in extreme cases
=================================================================
Windows 3.1 Client
=================================================================
Patch 4/ Patch 5 (NOTE: Patch 4 was released to the general public in
US-English only (GWUSC4.EXE))
1. Client would GPF when printing some mail messages that came from the
Internet
2. Many Quatro Pro 6.03 files did not display with viewers
3. Added ability to view WP 5.2+ for Unix attachments
4. Added Inside/Out Technology Viewers v. 5.11 which includes the ability to
view Office 97 application attachments
5. Remote was not allowing re-connect after disconnecting
6. Out Box Items existing prior to a move-user process are lost when archived
after the move
7. Users were unable to edit the path for File Type Associations under
Preferences on Windows 95
8. MAPIResolveName: The function MAPIResolveName() failed if you first create
an e-mail message (or note or task) and cancel out of it and then run a program
that calls MAPIResolveName()
9. Change to MAPI.DLL : Added capability to the MAPIFindNext() function to
check for an additional flag in the flFlags parameter. The new flag,
MAPI_ROOT_ONLY, if set, will cause MAPIFindNext() to enumerate only the items
in the root folder for GroupWise 4.x (for GroupWise 5.x, setting this flag will
enumerate only the items in the Mailbox folder)
10. When changing archive directory paths in preferences, the archive files in
the old path would be moved. If archive files existed in the new path, they
would be overwritten by the files being moved from the old path. Now when the
user changes his archive path, the old archive stays in its former path and a
new, empty archive will be created. This makes the Windows client work the way
the DOS and Macintosh clients do
11. Embedded Excel spreadsheets in WP did not view properly. The numbers were
inaccurately rounded
12. Notify tunes would click sometimes when not using a sound card
13. Under rare conditions, some archive items would disappear when unarchived
14. When BC recipient did Reply-to-All to users in other domains, the client
would GPF
15. So. Hemisphere TZ problem: Notify alarms were late one hour during DST
16. So. Hemisphere TZ problem: delivery time stamp would be ahead of creation
time stamp by one hour though delivered immediately during DST
17. The appt time would display one hour off in the calendar view on the day of
the DST change with an autodate appt. where the "by example" or "by formula"
methods were used
18. A Message with an expiration date and delayed delivery set would be
delivered and deleted on the expiration date
19. Client would GPF when doing a reply-to-all while proxied to a resource
20. Notify would GPF when closing it on NT4
21. The minimize button would not display on the GroupWise views when running
on NT4
22. Notify was unable to play .WAV files on NT4
23. A proxy with Read Only rights could drag items to the Trash
24. Removed the print border (introduced with Patch 4)
25. Landscape calendar and attachment printouts would be 75% of their normal
size (introduced with Patch 4)
=================================================================
Fixes Implemented in Patch 3 for the Client 11/12/96
=================================================================
1. Remote Client Communications Errors (Async Rewind Problem).
Communications problems encountered when uploading large files could result in
long delays during which little progress was seen by the user. Improved error
handling and recovery have been implemented in the remote client to eliminate
these problems. These changes have also been implemented in the Async and X.25
gateways to correct download problems. If errors were encountered while
connecting to the gateway, the number of potentially non-productive retries
could result in long delays before the error was returned to the user. The
number of connection retry attempts has been reduced from 30 to 10 to reduce
this delay.
2. Reply Addressing Problems Between External 4.0 Domains. Additional Routing
Information (ARI) accumulation on addresses constructed for replies between two
External 4.0 domains could result in non-delivery to recipients on the original
sender's PO. ARI reduction code has been implemented that simplifies addresses
and assures delivery. A forthcoming change to OFS allows further redundant ARI
elimination, but is not required to correct non-delivery errors
3. Address Book Name Search Scrolling Problems Under Windows NT. Typing
characters to look up a recipient's name in the address book did not select the
correct entry. A change was made to accommodate differences in Win16 and WinNT
windows API structure handling. This change corrects similar problems in the
remote client's configuration selection lists.
4. Outbox Override Send Option Not Cleared on Resend. The hidden send
option, outbox override, is now cleared when an outbox item is resent. This
problem affected items imported to the outbox through the API gateway's
MSG-ACTION=Import-Outbox feature, and resulted in OFS errors for recipients on
POs other than the outbox owner's. A similar change was made to OFS to clear
the bit as it is stored in the recipient's outbox
5. Autodate Appointment Errors on Day of DST Change. Appointments scheduled
for a DST change day using Autodate were scheduled one hour off the intended
time due to a midnight-based offset calculation. These calculations now
recognize DST days as special cases. Printing the Week calendar view for the
week of the DST change resulted in a similar one hour shift
6. "Insert Disk in Drive B:" Message During Network Install. When installing
the Windows client to certain network drive letters, this error was
encountered. With this change, the administrator may use any network drive
letter as the install target.
7. Miscellaneous Archive Problems. "GroupWise Error (8210). File I/O Error"
was returned when unarchiving a message with a message body or attachment of 2k
or larger in Server Always delivery mode. If a user attempted to change the
Archive Directory when it was administratively locked, the archive data would
be copied to the new location, the old archive data deleted and the location
reset to its original value due to the administrative lock. Loss of archive
data would occur if the user attempted to change the path again. Now, if the
path archive path is locked, the Archive Directory field is disabled under the
Location of Files preference.
8. International Keyboard Lockup. Selecting an International (i.e. non-US)
keyboard on fast machines (typically Pentium 133s and faster) running Windows
3.x resulted in a locked keyboard. Using the mouse to change the keyboard
repeat rate from the control panel was a common work-around. The fix employs a
keyboard reset after the keyboard is initialized by shared code.
9. Personal Groups Deleted on Update (Client, List Server). Under Server
Always, personal groups could be lost when updated. Reprioritization of Delete
and Add engine calls corrected the problem. Fix also corrects loss of lists in
the GroupWise List Server product.
10. Auto update continuously prompts user to update. User continues to get
prompted to update even after choosing "Yes" the first time. It is not known as
to what environments would cause this to happen, but problems were found in
auto update code and corrections were made which should prevent this from being
a problem in the future.
11. (Fixed in the release of the "Refresh" CD) User gets "printer
initialization error" message when printing to a NetWare 4.1 print queue.
12. (Added in the release of the "Refresh" CD) Added viewers: Envoy, Mac
PowerPoint 4.0, Quattro Pro 6, Mac Word 6. Note: The ability to view Word 7
documents is provided by the installation of the latest OLE patch from
Microsoft.
=================================================================
Fixes Implemented in Patch 2 for the Client 08/28/95
=================================================================
1. If you use the control bar/mouse combination to quickly scroll up and down
through the address book, it cuts and pastes names throughout the display so
that they are out of order.
2. The contents of attached files get mixed up when multiple clients send
mail at the same time.
3. During macro record, the minimize and maximize buttons disappear,
partially re-appear and appear fully.
4. The AddressBookResolve and AddressListAdd tokens were not working properly
with some external addresses.
5. MS Access has the user DB modification abilities, but the runtime version
doesn't; thus, the GroupWise MAPI.DLL does not work with the runtime version of
MS Access
6. Opening attachments from a send dialog causes a GPF in ofwinfil.exe at
0015:185e.
7. The QuickList does not drop down when the right mouse button is held down.
You have to release the button before the QuickList displays
8. Workstation Install does not work... it returns the error "Unable to setup
working environment for GroupWise. The program could not detect WP Shared
Program files."
9. A GPF occurs when the pointer is moved across a macro button on a button
bar. OfWINFIL caused a GPF in module SHWIN20.dll at 0032:000005ee
10. Orphaned files left in the OFFILES directories after messages have been
purged
11. REMOTE: After a person has moved to a different domain or post office the
updated user list will show the person duplicated, where they were before, and
where they are now
12. Upgrade expert added to Help
13. Sound stop, pause and scroll bar added for TAS sound view
14. Although other platform filenames are changed to conform to DOS 8.3
standards - when opening, printing, or viewing Macintosh file attachments from
the Windows client, the filenames do not conform to the DOS 8.3 filename format
15. When you attempt to print an attachment (from associated application) the
file is loaded into the appropriate application but Printing is not invoked
16. Odd characters are displayed (inside of parentheses) in the Info screen
because the Mail Envelope information is being displayed on top of the "Mail
Envelope Information" prompt such that only part of information is displayed
17. Printing multiple files with WPWin hangs WPWin and GroupWise
18. Changing the archive directory to the same path as the DOS client's
archive directory path will delete all items in the DOS client's archive
directory
19. Win95: When scheduling an appointment, choose busy search. Then click on
the right lower scroll bar arrow. This will lock the program
20. Computer locks when replying to a message, attaching a new attachment and
opening it
21. Logging in to WIN95 as a different user while running a shared code
program causes a GPF or a computer restart
22. The long prompts are no longer working on macro buttons. The space that
should have the macros name as a long prompt is now blank. This does not occur
in Windows 3.1
23. ML attachments or other file attachments larger than 4k are not cleaned up
properly when sent as routing slips or personal attachments
24. You can send to a foreign domain with: domain:joe@host, but you cannot
send to a foreign domain with domain:joe
25. The Info screen now displays sender "LIN" information (message database
number where the message resides, etc)
26. WIN95: Improved caption painting.
27. WIN95: Locks computer when putting 66-character paths in location of files
entries
28. WIN95: Prompted for network ID whenever shared code loads
29. WIN95: no network button on Open dialog
30. WIN95: DBM pop-up buttons have a top and bottom border problem
31. WIN95: macro recording wart covers buttons
32. PCFTP network driver returns ID from INI file which causes a security
breach
=================================================================
Fixes Implemented in Patch 1 of the Client 02/22/95
=================================================================
1. Custom Messages. Under some conditions the DLL associated with custom
messages would not load causing custom messages to fail
2. Custom Commands. Under some conditions the DLL associated with custom
commands would not load causing the command to not work
3. MAPI. Mapi would not work properly with Microsoft Access. Under some
conditions a GPF would occur
4. Calendar Printing. When printing calendar information the printer
orientation is changed to match the selected form. This was not happening
correctly under some conditions
5. Printing multi-image TIFF and multi-sheet spreadsheet attachments.
Formerly, when "Print" was used while viewing a multi-image TIFF file or
multi-sheet spreadsheet only the first image or sheet would print. Now, the
current viewed image or sheet will print
