BUG Of The Day Tips #11



*1. AUTOCAD LAND DEVELOPMENT DESKTOP PATCH         
    
To address a couple of known problems with AutoCAD Land 
Development Desktop, Autodesk recently released a patch that 
corrects various defects in the initial release of the product.

*2. MICROSOFT HTML HELP BUGS        
    
Are you using Microsoft's HTML Help 1.2 to develop help 
applications? If so, you should be aware of several problems you 
may experience when setting the Table of Contents background and 
foreground colors using the HTML Help workshop. For example, 
when you set different colors for the foreground and background 
using the Table of Contents Properties/Styles dialog box, both 
colors in the dialog box are set to the value of the foreground 
color. According to Microsoft, the problems are a result of bugs 
in the HTML Help workshop. The suggested workaround is to modify 
the colors by editing the HHC file with a text editor. Once you 
save the file, do not change the colors using the HTML 
Help workshop.


*3. NDS UPDATE FOR NETWARE 4.11         
    
Novell has identified a problem you may experience when 
installing one or more NetWare 4.11 servers and NetWare 5 servers 
in the same Directory Services Tree, which could cause corruption 
in the tree. To address this problem, Novell now provides an 
update that contains the following updated files: DS.nlm 6.03 and 
DSrepair.nlm 4.63. This DSRrepair addresses schema definitions 
that may not have been properly time-stamped if your tree began 
life with a NetWare 4.0 or 4.01 server. For more information and 
to download the patch file, ds411q.exe, go to
