Problem Description: 

105585-17:
  
  4108046

  Included new utility, tnatrck, which will attempt to re-attach lost 
  connections in the TAS shadow file to the corresponding Unix file/directory.
  
  4124494

  The TAS file servers (ATfile, LMfile, and NWfile) have been enhanced to 
  detect and prevent (symbolic or hard) link attacks on the TAS shadow files
  and directories.

  4137026

  When using MS Word 5.1a from a MAC OS System 7.1 system, opening or editing
  a file would cause all text beyond the insertion point to turn into garbage.

  4137028

  Unable to map a volume shared by a Novell 32 bit client, using proxy
  authentication and user maps.

  4137029

  Using MS Project 4 or later, when a second user opens a file, neither user
  is able to save to file. 


105585-01:

  4100732

  Under heavy stress, TAS is generating 'bad file number' error

  4102023

  Clients are being disconnected from AppleTalk realm when opening files.

  4108033

  When using proxy the LANMAN2.1 dialect could not be selected.

  4108036

  After running for a time LMfile connections using proxy fail because 
  LMfile can no longer talk to NBname through the ns_serverfifo.

  4108039

  When using proxy if the client does not drop the connection between 
  login attempts the second login fails.  This patch fixes this problem 
  by always keeping a connection to the proxy server.  The user should be 
  aware of this if there is a user limit on their proxy server.

  4108040

  Problems trying to save files with long names from Office 95 (and 97) 
  apps on TAS NB file service volumes.

  4108046

  When an NFS mount is remounted while TAS is running all attribute 
  information for files on the NFS mount is lost.  This affects NW, NB and 
  AT realms.  Most noticeable in automounted directories.

  4108048

  Memory leak in the TotalNET password file look up function was considerably 
  increasing the size of the file service processes (NWfile, ATfile, LMfile), 
  especially if the number of entries in the TotalNET password file was large.

  4108204

  Attempts to run the TUNTAS terminal emulator from a Windows 95 client off 
  a network drive mapped to a TAS NB file service volume fail. The 
  following error message is displayed and the drive disconnected:

		This program has performed an illegal operation.

  4108206

  Using Kanji shift-jis could not create files in subdirectories using 
  MicroSoft Office
   
  4108208

  Could not share executables even when permissions set to read-only.

  4108209

  Large directory transfers from mac to AT volume failed when updating 
  icon information.

  4108213

  Unexpected disconnect when using a large number of volumes with mapfiles 
  and atalk-text-conv on.

  4108221

  When using freespace & disksize directives needed to show actual values 
  if lower than directives.

  4108222

  Couldn't open read-only files.

  4108224

  When the number of mapfile entries times the number of volumes was greater 
  than 51 user gets unexpected disconnect.

  4108226

  When a PC Maclan client attempted to connect to a TAS MAC server the 
  client would have an exception fault.

  4108228

  When trying to copy a file into a subdirectory of an attach point that 
  the user does not have write access to ATfile would core dump.

  4108231

  Memory leak in ATfile. The memory used up by a directory cache entry was 
  not being freed before the entry was being reused.

  4108233

  Cannot copy over an existing file on an AT mounted directory.

  4108235

  AT realm file service cannot delete/create folder after emptying the trash 
  can that contains deleted folder from the mapped volume. It gives an 
  errors message saying "you cannot move 'folder' to the trash, because it 
  cannot be found"

  4108236

  If a UNIX directory contains dangling symbolic links, or other entries on 
  which stat() by the ATfile process fails, duplicate file names show up in 
  the folder listing on the MAC clients.
