PROBLEMS CORRECTED BY THIS FIX RELEASE
========================================================
FTP.EXE FTP.EXE had a "Divide by zero" condition that would cause FTP to
halt when using MGET, MPUT and MDELETE. The error is corrected by this
patch.
FTPD.EXE FTPD.EXE had a pointer that would cause a lost connection when
attempting to rename a file on the system running the FTP Daemon. The
error is corrected by this patch.
DIRECTOR.EXE DIRECTOR.EXE did not work in version 3.0 of LAN WorkPlace for
DOS. This patch contains a fully functional Script Director.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
========================================================
The patch updates the existing FTP.EXE, FTPD.EXE and DIRECTOR.EXE files.
The update is performed by creating a temporary area to contain the patch
files, transferring the patch files to the temporary area and executing a
batch file.
The update is designed to use the standard paths of \LANWP\OS2BIN for
FTP.EXE and FTPD.EXE and \LANWP\BIN40 for DIRECTOR.EXE. If you have changed
the path for these files, please make corresponding changes to the paths in
OS2P1.CMD.
Backup copies of the updated files will be created in a sub-directory of
the temporary directory. However, we suggest you create a backup of the LAN
WorkPlace software prior to executing the update.
All Operations may be performed from an OS/2 Window or OS/2 Full Screen.
CHECKING VERSIONS
========================================================
NOTE ! BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE UPDATE:
Please verify that you have the correct version of LAN WorkPlace for OS/2.
The update is designed for version 3.0 of LAN WorkPlace for OS/2. To verify
that you have the correct version, perform the following operation:
From the OS/2 prompt, execute the VRSNID program.
CD \LANWP\OS2BIN
VRSNID -I FTP.EXE
VRSNID -I FTPD.EXE
CD \LANWP\BIN40
VRSNID -I DIRECTOR.EXE
The version IDs should be:
FTP.EXE Version R30-1 3.0
FTPD.EXE Version R30-1 3.0
DIRECTOR.EXE Version 4-0Ev6 4.01+
INSTALLING THE UPDATE
========================================================
1. Create a temporary directory for the patch files. The directory \TEMP is
used for all examples.
MKDIR \TEMP
2. After the files are transferred to the temporary directory, execute the
batch file OS2P1.
CD \TEMP
OS2P1
3. The patch will take just a few seconds and will print messages
indicating the file to be patched and completion of the patch.
VERIFYING THE UPDATE
========================================================
1. To verify that the update completed properly, list the files affected.
DIR \LANWP\BIN40\DIRECTOR.EXE
DIR \LANWP\OS2BIN\FTP*.EXE

DIRECTOR.EXE 8/20/91 137216
FTP.EXE 10/21/92 78801
FTPD.EXE 12/16/92 54047
2. The files may also be checked with the VRSNID program.
CD \LANWP\OS2BIN
VRSNID -I FTP.EXE
VRSNID -I FTPD.EXE
CD \LANWP\BIN40
VRSNID -I DIRECTOR.EXE
The version IDs should be:
FTP.EXE Version R30-1U1 3.0
FTPD.EXE Version R30-1U1 3.0

BACKUP FILES
========================================================
Backups of the files updated are in a sub-directory BACKUP within the
temporary directory. (\TEMP\BACKUP).
Batch files to return the files to the original state are also in the
BACKUP directory. The names for the batch files are UNPATCH.BAK for
DIRECTOR.EXE, UNPATAXX.BAK for FTPD.EXE, where XX is a two digit numeric,
and UNPATAXX.BAK for FTP.EXE, where XX is a two digit numeric one number
less that the number used for FTPD.EXE.
The extension, .BAK will need to be changed to .CMD prior to execution of
the batch files.
