This README file accompanies .FIX files for Advanced and SFT NetWare v2.15c. 
The following files are included for this patch:

This patch corrects a problem appearing in servers when VAPs are loaded. 
Symptoms of this problem have been General Protection Interrupts or Stack
Overflow Errors while a VAP is loading, or corruption in volume names on multi-
volume systems.


ZAPOBJ.EXE is run against a .OBJ file using a .FIX parameter file.  Parameter
files containing temporary fixes (ie. *.FIX) are supplied for both 3.5" and
5.25" media.  The first 8 characters of the .FIX files are named the same as
the .OBJ files which are to be patched.  ZAPOBJ syntax is:
 
        ZAPOBJ <input>.OBJ <output>.OBJ <input>.FIX

This should be run for each .OBJ which needs to be patched.  ZAPOBJ.EXE must
be run in the same directory as the .OBJ.  The <output>.OBJ file has a different
name than the <input>.OBJ file, but it should be renamed to <input>.OBJ after
the patch process.

For example, in order to patch Advanced NetWare 3.5" media,

1)      Copy ZAPOBJ.EXE and ADV.FIX to the ADOBJ diskette or subdirectory.

2)      Execute the following statement:  ZAPOBJ ADV.OBJ NEWADV.OBJ ADV.FIX 

3)      Rename ADV.OBJ to ADV.BAK and rename NEWADV.OBJ to ADV.OBJ

4)      Run NETGEN and ensure that the "Link/Configure NetWare Operating System"
        option is selected and that NET$OS.EXE is copied to your network.   

This patch need only be run against the one .OBJ file corresponding to the
network operating system you are generating (i.e. Advanced, SFT, or TTS - SFT
with TTS).

The following is a list of .FIX files, their associated .OBJ files to be
patched, the diskettes or subdirectories where the .OBJ file is located, and
the applicable media size.

        ADV.FIX          ADV.OBJ           ADOBJ          (for 3.5" media)  
        SFT.FIX          SFT.OBJ           SFTOBJ         (for 3.5" media) 
        TTS.FIX          TTS.OBJ           TTSOBJ         (for 3.5" media)  
        ADV_2.FIX        ADV_2.OBJ         OSOBJ          (for 5.25" media)  
        SFT_2.FIX        SFT_2.OBJ         OSOBJ          (for 5.25" media)
