This is AFP56.ZIP.  Included with this file is AFPFIX5.NLM, 
AFPFIX6.NLM and PATCHMAN.NLM.  

AFPFIX5.NLM resolves a problem with DOS text files and DOS 
applications (.com, .exe, etc...) reverting to the default blank icon 
when being moved from folder to folder on the NetWare v3.11 and 
NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 or v3.01 server.  With this patch 
loaded on the server, the icon will remain constant when the file is 
moved.

AFPFIX6.NLM fixes two create problems in AFP.NLM v3.0 and 
v3.01 that come with NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 and v3.01.  The 
first problem occurs under System 7.  When a user has effective 
rights of Create but no Access Control to a folder, for example 
"test", and attempts to create a folder in "test" or copy a folder to 
"test", an error alert is displayed: "You cannot create a folder in the 
window "test" because you do not have enough access privileges."  
But, the folder is created.  The second problem occurs in both 
System 6 and System 7 Macintosh workstations.  When a user has 
effective rights of Create but not Modify to a folder, for example 
"test2", and files are copied to folder "test2", they lose their Finder 
Information, which includes their Type and Creator, and in System 
7, flags that make alias files, stationery files, and edition files 
special.

AFPFIX5.NLM and AFPFIX6.NLM should be loaded together to 
completely resolve all the problems mentioned here.

To install:

 (a) Copy PATCHMAN.NLM, AFPFIX5.NLM and AFPFIX6.NLM to SYS:\SYSTEM.
 (b) Add the following commands to AUTOEXEC.NCF:
       LOAD PATCHMAN
       LOAD AFPFIX5
       LOAD AFPFIX6
      The lines should be added after the LOAD AFP command line.
 (c) Down the server and re-boot, or manually load PATCHMAN and
      AFPFIX5 and AFPFIX6 NLMs at the NetWare console.
