- server, this timeout period increases. The number displayed in the <taskname>
- field indicates an approximate number of I/O operations that must time out.

- as Gupta and Oracle. The behavior is as follows:
-
- 1. As the time changes from 23-OCT-1993 23:59:59 to 24-OCT-1993 00:00:00, the
- date and time obtained from CLIB.NLM will be pushed forward one hour.
-
- 2. As the time changes from 30-OCT-1993 23:59:59 to 31-OCT-1993 00:00:00, the
- date and time obtained from CLIB.NLM will be pushed backward one hour.
-
- CLIB.NLM 4.01, revision D for NetWare 4.01, was also improved to correct the
- following abend message.
-
- When NLMs such as PSERVER are unloaded, the server will abend with the
- following message:
-
- MESSAGE
-
- Abend: SERVER-4.00-362: CloseScreen called with a screen that
- is still being used.
