Q.
Dear Ab-end: have been looking for the patch files that will support long names on NetWare 3.12. I downloaded one file but it only supported NetWare 4.x and NetWare 3.11 servers. Am I out of luck?

Dear Hopeful: The file you are looking for is OS2.NAM, which will give long name capabilities for OS/2, Windows 95, and Windows NT workstations. There is an OS2.NAM file that comes with NetWare 3.12, or you can get the updated OS2.NAM file for NetWare 3.12 from the support.novell.com web site. The file is called NAM312.EXE. To get to it quickly, go to support.novell.com/search/patlst.htm. At the Minimum OS, NLM, and File Updates page, go to the NW 312 column under the Core OS Updates section and choose the NAM312.EXE file at the bottom of this column. Within that self-extracting file you will find a newer version of the OS2.NAM file that you use for long name support.
