an '*' are new since WINUP9.EXE.

NOTE: When you expand NWDLL1.EXE, it will automatically create three          
sub-directories: NWDLL401 (containing Windows DLLs for NETX and VLMs       
workstations); NWDLL402 (containing Windows DLLs for VLMs

===========================================================
Installation Instructions:

It is highly recommended that you run the DOS/Windows client install that is
provided with NetWare 3.12 and NetWare 4.0x whenever possible. This client
installation process guarantees the proper installation of the appropriate
files and settings.  

Make a backup of any files currently on your workstation or File Server that
appear in the list above. 

     FOR THE FILES IN THE SUB-DIRECTORIES OF NWDLL1.EXE:

Note: The files in the \NWDLL401\ directory are for use with either NETX or   
VLM workstation configurations excluding NWGDI.DLL which is only           
required for NETWARE.DRV v3.03 found in WINDR1.EXE.

Note: The files in the \NWDLL402\ directory are for use with VLM            
workstations configurations that are using NetWare 4.02 and            
specifically NWADMIN v4.06. The update of NWADMIN from v4.05 to v4.06      
that shipped with NetWare 4.02, requires these updated Dynamic Link        
Libraries found in this sub-directory.

     Copy the following files to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:

NWCALLS.DLL    APIs for NCP communication between the f/s and w/s.
NWIPXSPX.DLL   APIs for IPX/SPX communication.
NWLOCALE.DLL   APIs for localization and internationalization of
               applications.
NWNET.DLL      Network API support for NDS, etc.
NWPSRV.DLL     Contains print server services APIs.
NWGDI.DLL      APIs for Graphical Display Interface for 
               NETWARE.DRV v3.03.
*PNW.DLL       APIs for Personal NetWare Graphical Utilities.
  
*Note: If you are not using Novell's Personal NetWare product, the PNW.DLL    
is not required. However, if the PNW.VLM is loaded when Windows            
starts, NETWARE.DRV will expect PNW.DLL to be loaded. If it is not         
found, a error message will appear.

 Note: Depending on your previous installation, the DLLs or other files       
listed above may be located in the \WINDOWS directory. Make sure           
that you have a copy of the files listed above only in the              
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (for stand alone version if shared version        
then update the DLLs in the shared directory), as you may have             
spurious results if you have different versions of the same DLL            
located in each of the directories.  The recommended configuration is       
to place all the files listed in the section above only in the             
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  

===========================================================
     FOR THE FILES IN THE SUB-DIRECTORY [OLDDLLS]: 

 Note: The files located in the [OLDDLLS] sub-directory are older DLLs        
that are no longer maintained by NOVELL.  They are included in this        
file as a resource for applications or SYSTEMS that may require their       
use.  

 Note: If a DLL found in the WINDR1\OLDDLLS directory ships from a vendor,    
for example, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (WFWG) ships a newer              
NETAPI.DLL 11-03-94 than the one included in WINDR1\OLDDLLS, then use       
the newer of the two files.


Copy the following files from [OLDDLLS] to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:

NETAPI.DLL    v1.3D API support for the SQL Server front end.
NWNETAPI.DLL  v1.30 Same as NWCALLS.DLL.  Will be phased out.
NWPSERV.DLL   v1.30 Contains older print server services APIs.
                    Some applications specifically call this 
                    DLL.  It is being replaced by NWPSRV.DLL

More on [OLDDLL] files  -  These files are older versions of the NetWare API
dynamic link libraries (DLLs).  These DLLs are used by some applications. A
good rule of thumb to follow is to check your WINDOWS and WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directories to see if these files exist.  If they do, and they are older than
the DLLs on this diskette, update them with the files on this diskette. If the
DLL exists in the Windows directory move it into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
for consistency.

If they are not in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, then they are not
needed and do not need to be copied.  If you do install an application which
uses any of these DLLs, you can use these files to update the DLLs, provided
these DLLs are newer than the ones shipped from the vendor. In the case of the
NETAPI.DLL shipped in WFWG 3.11, use the one provided by Microsoft.

===========================================================
Note: For more details on how to set up the VLMs and/or NETX 
      workstations with a networked version of Windows, refer 
      to VLMWIN.TXT found in WINDR1.EXE\READMES.

update files are welcomed. Any enhancment request to these drivers are
welcomed at the same address. Please send your responses to
