This file is a patch for ATPS.NLM v3.1, included in NW-MAC 3.01. It
requires PATCHMAN.NLM v2.20 or higher which is included.
				
The patch fixes a problem where printing to the ATPS Print Spooler could
intermittently ABEND the server. The running process might be listed as
ATPS, but often it was identified as the Streams Q Runner or AppleTalk
stack processes, and the listed cause would vary. The problem was generally
experienced when printing documents that claimed that they were Adobe
Document Structuring Convention compliant, but which in fact were incorrect
in their compliance.

To use the patch, load it on a server running ATPS.NLM v3.1.  When ATPS is
unloaded, the patch should be unloaded as well, and reloaded whenever ATPS
is loaded again.

NOTE: just because this patch is shown as a loaded module or listed as
installed by the "PATCHES" console command does not mean it is active. 
Always unload and reload load if you unload and reload ATPS.

The problem described was not present in NW-MAC 3.0 and is only present in
NW-MAC 3.01.  This patch will not load on versions of ATPS other than 3.1.

To install the patch to the ATPS:

 (a) Copy PATCHMAN.NLM and ATPSFIX1.NLM to SYS:\SYSTEM.
 (b) Add the following commands to AUTOEXEC.NCF:
       LOAD PATCHMAN
       LOAD ATPSFIX1
     The lines should be added after the LOAD ATPS command line.
 (c) Down the server and re-boot, or manually load PATCHMAN and ATPSFIX1 at
the NetWare console.
