This is what I found on Novell's site.

"If different code pages are to exist on different workstations, it may be
advisable to select NetWare filename format, so that the server does not try to
remap any characters in the hexadecimal 80 to FF range."

For more information, see DOS vs. NetWare filename format

Also, when installing the Y2K patches, Novell recommends that ALL current
patches are loaded prior to the Y2K update.

HI!
I support an office with netware 3.12 and 4 Win95 Hebrew workstations.
I've added OS/2 name space to support long file names.
The problem:
==========
When using folder names in Hebrew, The users sometimes can't access
and
save files in the Hebrew folders.
Renaming the folder to an English name overcomes it.
The questions:
===========
Is there a fix or trick to solve the problem and allow Hebrew folder
names?
Can I/Should I change the codepage of the server?
Is saving files with Hebrew file names ok, or should I save files only
in
English?
More info:
=======
The server is patched only with 2 patches for Y2K (CLIB & 312Y2K)
I don't remember which Client32 version is installed, probably an old
one.
Thanks
