-
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- This update addresses year 2000 issues.
-
-
- PROBLEMS RESOLVED:
-
- LISTDIR.EXE
- The date is not displayed correctly when using the /D and /T options.
-
- LOADER.EXE
- The file server could abend at the year 2000 roll over to 1/1/2000. The BIOS
- clock would also be reset to the year 1980. (This patch is also contained in
- the 312PTD.EXE file.)
-
- MENU.OVL
- The date is not displayed correctly after year 2000.
-
- PAUDIT.EXE and NET_REC.DAT
- The year was not properly displayed for years greater than 1999.
-
- PSERVER.EXE
- The banner page prints the year as 19200 instead of 2000.
-
- PSERVER.NLM
- The banner page prints the year as 19200 instead of 2000.
-
- RCONSOLE.EXE
- When selecting the directory scan option, the year as indicated by the file
- creation date displays as 100 instead of 00, 134 instead of 34, etc.
-
- SBACKUP.NLM
- When the system time is set to the year 2000 or higher, the year was not
- displayed correctly in the session files. It was adding 28 years to the last
- two digits of the year eg., 2007 as 2035. (This file requires the file
- LIB312.EXE to be installed on the server.)
-
- SESSION.EXE
- The login time was displayed incorrectly for the year 2028 and beyond.
-
-

-

-
- ISSUE:
-
- Requirements:
-
- 1) Hardware must be year 2000 ready (check with your hardware vendor).
-
- 2) Install the CLIB updates.
-
- 3) All the latest patches/fixes must already installed on the server. There are
- approximately 64 individual files that need to be installed. These download
- files are available from the Support Connection CD and on the Internet at
- http://support.novell.com/products/nw312/patches.htm
-
-
-
- For an automated installation of these files, install the NetWare 3.2
- Enhancment Pack. (This may be purchased from your local reseller.)
-
-
-
- Make a back-up copy or rename the original files before replacing them.
-
- The directory structure is arranged so that files in each directory will be
- copied to their respective directory on a server.
-
- For Example:
-
- SYS\PUBLIC\RCONSOLE.EXE should be copied to a server on the SYS: volume in the
- PUBLIC directory.
-
-
-
- LOADER.EXE Instructions:
-
- If the patch kit 312PTC.EXE has already been installed, disregard installing
- LOADER.EXE.
-
- 1. Copy the LOADER.EXE and LSWAP.EXE files to the appropriate NetWare boot
- directory of the server (for example, C:\SERVER.312).
-
- 2. Execute the following command at the DOS prompt while in the server boot
- directory:
-
- Usage: LSWAP [LoaderFilePath [ServerFilePath]]
-
- Default LoaderFilePath = C:\SERVER.312\LOADER.EXE
-
- Default ServerFilePath = C:\SERVER.312\SERVER.EXE
-
-
- NOTE: These updates work with all localized versions of NetWare 3.12.
