SYMPTOM

     In some circumstances, the script log details displayed at the
     Administration Console are incomplete.

CAUSE

     For server names with less than 8 characters, embedded NULLs were being
     read as an end of file.

SYMPTOM

     In some circumstances, editing files with the NNEDT command removes all
     other contents of the edited file.

CAUSE

     When the same file is explicitly specified as the infile and the outfile
     (using the /i and /o options) for the NNEDT command, and the workstation
     is running DR DOS, the file handling was causing incorrect editing.

SYMPTOM

     Feedback from package script execution is not being returned to the
     Administration Console.

CAUSE

     Workstations running DR DOS encountered problems with a VLM-based NetWare
     requester.

SYMPTOM

     MS Windows applications that are scheduled as events from a package
     script using the NNWIN SCHED command are not being executed.

CAUSE

     MS Windows events were being flagged incorrectly to use a command
     processor that is not used for MS Windows applications.

SYMPTOM

     Using the No Replace option for Push distributions to client workstations
     deletes the existing file on the workstation.

CAUSE

     Existing workstation files were being truncated to 0 bytes before
     verification of the existence of the file was performed.

SYMPTOM

     Status code information for the condition of a disk being full was not
     included in the online Help.

CAUSE

     The status code information was not included in the build of the online
     Help.


SOLUTION

     The symptons listed above will be corrected after the NetWare Navigator
     pre-built packages are distributed to the appropriate Distribution Lists.
     Apply NN30A.EXE

     Solution Specifics:

     The following information explains what is fixed by NN30A.EXE:

     - Embedded NULLs are replaced with spaces in the script log file.

     - File contents are retained for files being edited with the NNEDT
     command when the /i and /o options are specified.

     - Conflicts between DR DOS and VLM shells have been resolved by using the
     NetWare Client API.

     - The command processor is no longer used for scheduling MS Windows
     applications.

     - Online help has been updated to include status code information for the
     condition of a disk being full.

     Installation Instructions:

     Copy NN30A.EXE to the SYS:NETNAV\PACKAGES directory on the NetWare
     Navigator Distribution Server. To decompress the file and automatically
     create the necessary directory structure, type: NN30A. Execute the
     instructions listed below using the NetWare Navigator Administration
     Console. Refer to Page 3-32 of the "NetWare Navigator Administration
     Guide" for more information on creating Distribution Lists and
     distributing packages.

     1. Distribute the NetWare Navigator Distribution Server Update 1.0
     package to a Distribution List containing the NetWare Navigator
     Distribution Server.

     2. Distribute the NetWare Navigator Staging Server Update 1.0 package to
     a Distribution List containing all the NetWare Navigator Staging Servers.

     3. Distribute the NetWare Navigator Windows Client Update 1.0 package to
     a Distribution List containing client workstations. This package is
     specific to MS Windows clients, so if MS Windows does not exist on the
     client workstation, the workstation will not be updated.
