TERMS

  Update:      A file that has a .PAT extension and defines
               changes to a software program.

  Target file: A file with an .EXE extension that is to be
               modified by an update.

  UPATCH:      Universal Update Program.  A program that applies
               updates to target files.

Note: UPATCH.EXE is shipped with Netware Lite v1.1 and the Netware Lite
v1.1 upgrade kit.

****************************************************************

GENERAL INFORMATION

You need only one diskette to update all copies of NetWare Lite on your
NetWare Lite network.  You do not need a separate diskette for each copy of
NetWare Lite.

Make backup copies of the files before running UPATCH.  Do not update the
original NetWare Lite Program and Driver diskette files.
 
If a machine has a hard disk with NetWare Lite software, the files to be
updated are in the C:\NWLITE directory.

If a machine does not have a hard disk, the files to be updated are on the
workstation's floppy diskette that has the NetWare Lite CLIENT.EXE.

To get consistent results from the network, use UPATCH to update all copies
of NetWare Lite on the network (all servers and clients).  If a server or
client is not updated, it will continue with the erratic behavior that the
update is designed to correct.

Review the section of this document that corresponds to the update to find
out what the update does.  Each section describes what the update will be
applied to, the update date, the checksums, the problems the update
corrects, and the symptoms you may see before the update is applied.

You can use UPATCH to apply updates before or after running NetWare Lite,
but the changes do not take effect until the computer is rebooted and
theupdated files are loaded into memory.

GETATRIB.PAT - NetWare lite Client get file attribute fix patch.

Target:     CLIENT.EXE
Checksums:  758, BB2, 59A, 351, BB2

Problem: Running the Quicken finance software and printing to a NWLite
captured printer, Quicken printing fails with the message "Can't print to
LPT1".

Symptoms: Quicken printing fails with the message "Can't print to LPT1". 
This also fixes the problem with getting file attributes across the
network.  The problem was with OPENDEV.PAT.

CLOSEFIL.PAT - NetWare Lite v1.1 Server close file handles fix
               patch.

Target:     SERVER.EXE
Checksums:  2CC, 2B4, 20

Problem: When a client station has open files on a NWLite server and the
client reboots with the files still open, sometimes the files will not be
closed when the client reconnects or when watchdog clears the station
connection.

Symptoms: Files are left open on the server when a client reboots.

   
****************************************************************
                                 
LPTSTAT.PAT - NetWare Lite v1.1 Server LPT printer status fix
              patch.

Target:     SERVER.EXE
Checksums:  5B7, CO1, 575, 307, C01  

Problem: Print jobs in NWLite are being sent to a printer that has been
taken off line or powered off.  The jobs are being lost.

Symptoms: Print jobs are being lost when the printer has been powered off
or taken off line.

****************************************************************

RECONFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client reconnect patch.

Target:     CLIENT.EXE
Checksums:  76A, 74F, 10EF, 66A, 64F, 8F7, 3A3, 3A3, 10EF

Problem: The reconnection between server and client fails to occur when the
"net capture" or "net print" commands are issued by a client to a server
that has just been rebooted.  Subsequent "net capture" or "net print"
commands from the client station will work normally.

Symptoms: When using the "net capture" or "net print" commands as the first
commands from a client to a server that has just been rebooted, the error
messages "Redirect device -- Too many open files." or "Write file -- Access
denied." will be displayed and the command will fail.
                                 
****************************************************************

CLPRINTR.PAT - NetWare Lite Client printer corruption fix patch.

Target:     CLIENT.EXE
Checksums:  6AC, 562, 5D4, 316, 562

Problem: Running certain applications on a client/server with a local
printer will produce printer output that has been corrupted.

Symptoms: Printer output that has been captured through NWLite will be
corrupted.

****************************************************************

VXDFIX.PAT - NetWare Lite v1.1 Server windows VxD fix patch
             version 2.0.

File:       SERVER.EXE
Checksums:  5F0, 605, EF

NWLite, the server will not respond until some of the auto-loaded
applications are closed.  

Symptoms: The NWLite server will appear to hang when loading applications
in windows startup box.
                                 
****************************************************************

INT28FIX.PAT - NetWare Lite Client int 28 ISR patch version 2.0

Target:     CLIENT.EXE
Checksums:  765, 8A4, 58D, 641, 4DE, 28C, F1, 8A4

Problem: Applications doing background printing on a NWLITE server/client
where printing is captured to a printer connected locally may experience a
server lock up.  The problem requires the station to be rebooted.  Each
time the station is rebooted because of this problem, lost clusters are
left on the hard drive.  If this happens enough times without running
"chkdsk /f" the FAT table will become corrupted.

Symptoms: You may have this problem if you are having problems running an
application that performs background printing on a server/client with a
printer connected locally and the station locks up.  Applications which
exhibits this problem but not limited to are Foxpro, Mas90, Clipper,
WordPerfect, Peachtree, Timeslip, Microfocus Cobol and Red Wing.

CTRL-ALT keys to reboot the server or when a popup printer status screen is
being displayed, the monitor will switch to 40 column mode.

Symptoms: The video screen switches to 40 column mode when using IBM
Valuepoint models 425sx or 433dx.

****************************************************************

               status fix patch.

File:       SERVER.EXE
Checksums:  4D6, 8EF, 23C, 402, 8EF

Problem: Using Windows with a superVGA driver causes Windows to hang when
sending a print job to a printer that has been taken offline.  NWLite uses
a popup message box to indicate the status of the printer.  The popup
message box causes Windows to hang. 

Symptoms: Print jobs sent to an offline printer will hang Windows, if
Windows is running in a superVGA mode such as 8514.

****************************************************************

              Structure (CDS) patch.

Problem: MSDOS v6.00 changed the way the pointer to the Drive Parameter
Block (DPB) is used in the Current Directory Structure (CDS).  Client was
setting a drive status to "valid physical drive" after using the drive as a
network drive.

NWLite mapped drive, the following conditions will cause the rename to fail
with the message "PATH NOT FOUND":
         1. The file must be located at the root directory.
         2. The rename command must use a DOS wildcard character
            ie.
               "rename docfile.doc *.sav".

Symptoms: The DOS rename file command fails on a NWLite drive with the
message "PATH NOT FOUND".
