READ ONLY COMPATIBILITY=[on off]

Determines whether a file marked Read Only can be opened with a read/ write access call.

Certain applications require the value for this parameter to be set to “on.” See the documentation provided with your application for details.

Prior to NetWare 2.1, a program could open a Read Only file with write access without getting an error, though any attempt to write to the file produced an error.

To be compatible with DOS, NetWare 2.1 or later does not allow a Read Only file to be opened for write access.

Setting this parameter to “on” causes the shell to revert to the old mode and allow the open request to succeed.

Syntax

Default

off

 

 

Modules

REDIR.VLM

 

 

Example

To cause the shell to revert to the old mode and allow the open

 

request to succeed, you would place the following in your

 

NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

read only compatibility=on
