the process and the reboot message that require manual intervention. The ACU
Setup is provided to automatically upgrade and setup a group of clients to use
the NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95.
The changes are controlled with the following parameters contained in the
NWSETUP.INI file provided in C3295D.EXE. (Fixed 3/11/96)
; ACU Option
; The following section contains settings that will minimize user
intervention
; during the automated upgrade of clients.
; DisplayFirstScreen
; Setting this to 1 will prompt the user whether they wish to continue or
cancel
; the automated upgrade.
; DisplayLastScreen
; Setting this to 1 will prompt the user whether they wish to reboot for
the
; changes to take effect or not.
[AcuOptions]
DisplayFirstScreen=0
DisplayLastScreen=0
CLIENT32.NLM
Note: The major problems that have been fixed are identified. This list does
not represent every problem that was addressed in this file.
1- During execution of Beyond Mail (BMailw.exe) the following error message
is displayed: Error: "You have insufficient rights to read the public
rule/form database." It also fixes the problem that caused the following error
in Beyond Mail: "This users inbox is already in use."
2- Application called "ProSystem for Windows" that uses "Ramia Data Base"
returns error message: Error:"CTX_BXERROR-906 unable to get access to taf
file. Load share and retry"
3- Dos TSR using 78K memory when it should only use 4K of memory.
4- Lock - Unlock and reacquiring a lock fails with error code 162.
5- Microsoft Access. Error: Couldn't open file <path> SYSTEM.MDA..
6- Timeslip application causes machine hang.
7- Peachtree application causes machine hang
8- During execution of "Lacerte Income Tax Program" the following error
message is displayed Error: "Program has performed an illegal operation"
9- Garbage is printed when printing from a dos application when using "Set
Specific Capture Flags" and reply buffer length is greater than 45.
10- Menu application called ODBS would always return to the initial menu
screen instead of the menu that it was called from.
11- Timeout parameter not working with DOS Capture.
12- Environment variables not being passed to DOS during the login process.
13- Solves problems related to corruption in various databases and mail
programs (i.e. CC:Mail) dealing with opportunistic locking.
14- Fixes problems with QBASIC programs failing to capture LPT2 or LPT3.
DOS Error 68 is returned
15- Fixes issues related to applications sending garbage to various output
devices (printer, screen, file, etc.) from a DOS box.

17- Mapping a Drive to a NFS Gateway volumes with NFS v1.2
18- Slow performance in Dos Box after applying Patch c3295B.exe or C3295c.exe
19- Slow performance when application using small file/io requests
20- Garbage when printing from Dos application

22- MS-Access v2.0 gets "SHARE.EXE NOT LOADED" error when opening MS-Access
database
23- Language issue with a Danish Character saved to NetWare volume.
NOVPP32.DLL
1- This file fixes a printer offline error message that appears when trying
to access a network printer from within the Printer Wizard when a tree and a
server on the network have the same name. In the properties for the defined
printer, the printer name should start with a leading "." (default syntax if
the printer is selected by using the browsing process). If the printer name is
manually typed in, make sure that the leading "." exists, i.e.
\\<servername>\<.printer.ou.o>. (Fixed 3/5/96)
2- NOVPP32.DLL changed the way that the DLL was loaded. Previous to this
version of NOVPP32.DLL, if the network was not yet available when Windows 95
loaded NOVPP32, the DLL just didn't load. Now NOVPP32 will load regardless of
whether the network has been completely initialized. (Fixed 3/25/96)
3- This version will not abort the job if the printer handle is closed by
Windows 95 before the job is closed.
4- The PRTWIN32.DLL file is included to support calls made by NOVPP32.DLL
NWIP95.NLM
This new NWIP95.NLM provides full DHCP and PPP functionality for NetWare/IP
for Client 32 for Windows 95.
NIOS.VXD
This change to NIOS.VXD will solve a problem that causes the error: "There
was an error writing to LPT1 for the printer <PrinterName>. The printer is not
ready. Make sure it is turned on and online. To continue printing click retry.
Windows will automatically retry after 5 seconds"
Many TSRs available call the int 17 function directly to print. This version
of NIOS.VXD was modified to handle all direct int 17 calls.

Installation Instructions:
Note: Always make a backup of files replaced in the patch process.
GROUP POLICIES
In order for Group Policies to work with Novell's Windows 95 client, the
Windows Group Policy DLL, GROUPPOL.DLL must be installed on each client. Group
Policy instructions are in the Windows 95 Resource Kit.
To install support for Group Polices and Client32, run the INSTALL.EXE progam
contained in the group policies directory. This will copy the NetWare Group
Policy DLL, NWGROUP.DLL, to the client's Windows\System directory. It will
also create a string value in the Windows 95 registry.
The value is located under the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\NOVELLNP\NetworkProvider
The value name is: GroupFcn
The string value is: NWGROUP.DLL,NWGetUserGroups
NOTE: The install.exe program will only install the group policy support.

drive and run UNC32.EXE.

utility for this patch. The SETUP.EXE is an update for the Automatic Client
Update process. For more information on the ACU process, please refer to the
Online help for more information. The SETUP.EXE included in this file will
uninstall the existing Client and unless you have access to the Client 32
installation files, you will be left without a client installed. SETUP.EXE was
renamed to SETUP.EX in order to reduce the chance that an administrator would
attempt to install the patch without reading the readme.
1. Make a backup of the SETUP.EXE and NWSETUP.INI files in the Client 32's
\ENGLISH subdirectory.
2- In the directory where this file was extracted, in the ACUSETUP
subdirectory, rename the SETUP.EX to SETUP.EXE
3- Copy the SETUP.EXE and NWSETUP.INI from the \ACUSETUP directory of this
file to the Client 32 \ENGLISH subdirectory.
4- Run SETUP /ACU for the new Automatic Client Update Setup process to be
