Support Issues
--------------
There may possibly be changes necessary to your workstation configuration to
enable the evaluation Windows applications to run.


Windows & IPX/SPX support (Important Information)
-------------------------
To run applications in a Windows environment that require access to IPX/SPX
communications will need the Novell Workstation shell patch releases version 7
or later. If using the NetWare VLM shells, you will require version 8.

The current version of these patches are called WINUP9 and DOSUP9 and complete
copies are available from NetWire or your Novell dealer. Firefox have included
an extract from the patches on the NOV*IX evaluation diskettes.

Files FFDOSUP9.ZIP and FFWINUP9.ZIP are held on the first NOV*IX evaluation
diskette.  You will need to use the PKUNZIP program to unzip the files to a
suitable location.  FFDOSUP9 should be unzipped to your workstation shell
directory (e.g. A:PKUNZIP A:FFDOSUP9 C:\NETWARE) and FFWINUP9 should be
unzipped to your Windows directory (e.g. A:PKUNZIP A:FFWINUP9 C:\WINDOWS).


FFDOSUP9 contains LSL.COM, IPXODI.COM, NETX.EXE, IPX.OBJ etc.
FFWINUP9 contains NETWARE.DRV, VNETWARE.386, VIPX.386, NWPOPUP.EXE

The symptoms of running shells that are too old are:
    - Application reporting that IPX/SPX is not loaded
    - Windows crashing on termination
    - Workstation freezing requiring re-boot.

Refer to file SYS:TCPGWAY\FAULTFIX.TXT for details of other problem
resolutions.
