                     NetWare Version 2.15c UPDATE Utility

Users have experienced the following difficulties when updating
NetWare v2.15 from revision A to revision C.

o     The UPDATE utility does not copy the files as expected if the
      workstation performing the update does not have its        
      environment set up correctly.  The environment must
      contain a COMSPEC statement that points to an available    
      directory.  However, the COMSPEC statement cannot point to
      a directory on drive A or B.  It must point to a
      valid, available directory, as in the following example:

            COMSPEC = C:\COMMAND.COM

      If the workstation is logged in to a network, you can use a
      COMSPEC statement similar to the following:

            COMSPEC = S3:COMMAND.COM

o     After using the UPDATE utility and NETGEN, some users have
      noticed that the operating system still has a revision A   
      header instead of a revision C header.  

      To fix this discrepancy, replace the old public utility and
      OS diskettes with the new diskettes that come with the update
      kit.  After replacing the old diskettes, run NETGEN.  After
      you have installed the newly configured operating system, the
      correct revision will be displayed.
