Thanks for the help, sorry if this has been >asked before. > In NW 286 hard disk and network gen'ing of the OS required a creation of a series of subdirectories under where you are performing the NETGEN/SHGEN/ BRGEN. If you uploaded the files to your hard disk you should have a NETWARE subdirectory with all/most of the .exe files, (including nlink.exe and others) and several subdirectories under that with .obj, .lan, .dsk files etc. One of the most critical is AUXGEN. Look in there to see if the .lan files are there, if not, bingo! that's your problem. Move any .lan files from the LAN_DRV_.001 disk to the auxgen subdir and regen. BTW this holds true for ANY lan driver. The .lan file must reside in the auxgen drive and the .obj files will live in LAN_DRV_.xxx. The .lan file can be typed out to determine the location of the .obj files. The subdir/disk label name can be found in the second to 14th byte of the .lan file. Move the axxxxx.obj through dxxxxx.obj file into that subdirectory/disk and the select/link should go ok. Otherwise you will get the error=9 message that means the linker couldn't find a file.
