Introduction

------------



When you print to a Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS print server across

the network from a Windows-based application, an extra (or separator)

page is ejected at the end of each job. When you print across the

network from an MS-DOS-based application, or locally from either an MS-

DOS-based or a Windows-based application, the extra page is not

ejected.



The WG1049 disk included with this Application Note contains updated

NET.EXE, NET.MSG, and NETH.MSG files. Using these files with version

3.11 of Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS corrects the problem noted above.



To install the updated Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS files

--------------------------------------------------------



1. Make a backup copy of the currently installed NET.EXE, NET.MSG, and

   NETH.MSG files by typing the following at the MS-DOS command prompt

   and then pressing ENTER



      ren <drive>:<path>\<filename> <filename>.old



   where <drive>:<path> is the location of your Workgroup Add-On for

   MS-DOS subdirectory and <filename> is the currently installed

   NET.EXE, NET.MSG, or NETH.MSG file.



   For example, if your Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS directory is

   called NET and is on drive C, type the following at the MS-DOS

   command prompt and then press ENTER:



      ren c:\net\net.exe net.old



   NOTE: Repeat this command for each file. Because the .EXE and .MSG

   files both have the filename "NET," you must modify either the

   filename or the extension for one of the backup copies.



2. Insert the enclosed WG1049 disk in the appropriate floppy disk

   drive.



3. To copy the file to the Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS subdirectory,

   type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press

   ENTER



      copy <drive>:\net.exe <destination>



   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WG1049 disk

   and <destination> is the drive and directory of your Workgroup Add-

   On for MS-DOS subdirectory.



   For example, if the WG1049 disk is in drive A and your Workgroup

   Add-On for MS-DOS directory is called NET and is on drive C, type

   the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER:



      copy a:\net.exe c:\net



4. Repeat step 3 for the updated NET.MSG and NETH.MSG files.
