     To Copy files :
          Explode the patch kit to a diskette.
          Place diskette in "A:" drive at the Server.
          Load "A:\PATCH312.NLM"  
 

          The following events will occur:
               Patches will be copied
               PM312 will be loaded
               PMLOAD will scan the directory where the patch are & load them
               A backup of The STARTUP.NCF file will made and then the
               STARTUP.NCF will be updated..

     NOTE: When installing a patch kit using PATCH312.NLM, all files copied
        to the DOS partition will not retain the original file DATE 
        and TIME. All files copied will obtain CURRENT DATE and TIME. 
        However, the "Modules" console command will display correct DATE
        and TIME as well as version of the modules.

===========================================================================

     Issue: 

	Invalid Startup Command when execting STARTUP.NCF!

	Invalid Startup Command: PMLOAD C:\SERVER.312\PATCHES\312pt9\

	loading module PATCHMAN.NLM
	  Patch Manager for NetWare v3.11 (960122)
	  Version 2.61 January 22, 1996
	  Copyright 1996 Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 


     Solution:

	None,  
	Because of the way that the Startup.ncf file is parsed, the
	"Invalid Startup Command" is displayed on the "PMLOAD" line.
	This is an anomamoly and will NOT be fixed.
