Novell MHS Patch - M15BP4

This patch program repairs the following problems with MHS 1.5P Rev.B:

1) When MHS messages are upgraded from SMF-64 to SMF-70, MHS might reject
the message indicating "Bad Expiry Date Header". This problem occurred
every 256 days; the last known date on which it occurred was January 7,
1992.

2) Although it was using the "DISABLED" modem driver, MHS would still
require the selected COM port to be present, and would alter the settings
of that COM port. MHS no longer accesses the COM port when using the
"DISABLED" modem driver.

3) Under some circumstances, the MHS workstation would hang if activity
occurred on the COM PORT while a gateway was running. This has been
corrected.

4) Sometimes during message queue transfers, the warning message "Dangerous
stuff" would appear. The condition causing this problem has been
eliminated.

5) On faster machines, the Connectivity Manager would sometimes terminate
with a fatal runtime (division by zero) error.

Note:  The first four (4) fixes were included in previous patches.  This
patch identifies which of these fixes have already been applied and will
only apply those that have not.

TO APPLY THIS PATCH:
===================

1) Delete PATCH.* from the MHS\SYS directory if you have applied previous
MHS patches.
2) Copy the files PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP to your MHS\SYS subdirectory.
3) Change directories to your MHS\SYS directory.
4) Copy the file MHSN.OVR to MHSN.BAK (do NOT use the move command).
5) Run the program PATCH.EXE (with no parameters).
6) If the patch succeeds, delete PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP.
7) If the patch fails, rename MHSN.BAK to MHSN.OVR and contact Novell
Technical Support for additional help.
