ABSTRACT:
This file corrects a problem with previous versions of MONITOR.NLM for
NetWare 3.11 that could cause a General Protection Processor Exception
(GPPE) on the server.  The GPPE would generally occur when MONITOR was
loaded for extended periods of time.  This file keeps the console locked in
cases such as PSERVER being unloaded remotely through PCONSOLE.

                     README of MON175.EXE

This README file of MON175.EXE accompanies MONITOR.NLM v1.75 for NetWare
v3.11.

This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.75) includes a fix to keep the console locked in
MONITOR under all conditions. In previous versions of MONITOR if an
application such as the PServer was unloaded remotely via PCONSOLE it would
cause the console to unlock.

This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.75) corrects a problem seen in previous versions
of MONITOR.NLM.  These previous versions could cause a "General Protection
Processor Exception (GPPE) running process Monitor Background process"
error on the server.  This would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded
for extended periods of time (30 days or so) and was caused by resource
contention between the foreground and background processes of MONITOR. 
This version supercedes previous versions and includes all such fixes.

To install MONITOR.NLM v1.75 complete the following instructions:

     (note,  unload MONITOR at the console)

1)   Flag MONITOR.NLM as N (Normal) in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

2)   Rename the existing copy of MONITOR.NLM to MONITOR.OLD for backup
purposes.

3)   Copy this new version of MONITOR.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

4)   Flag the new copy of MONITOR.NLM back to SRO (Sharable Read Only).

5)   Type LOAD MONITOR at the console.
