2. Bug Fixes

	a. Previous Monitrix nlms for 3.1x and 4.x would cause
	   Primary and secondary servers to hang during inital
	   Monitrix startup when Auto-Detect SCSI was enabled.
	   This bug has now been fixed.

	b. New PCINFO.EXE fixes Lap Top pc hang upon execution.
	   This problem was known to occur with Xircom LAN adapters. 

	c. New PCINFO.EXE will run on diskless workstations. 

	d. Monitrix Primary NLMs running on NetWare servers would not
	   discover other NetWare servers on a network. Previous Monitrix
	   NLMs for 4.x would incorrectly identify NetWare versions as well.

	e. Monitrix Rev. A could not inventory hard disk devices 1 GB
	   or larger.

	f. Monitrix NLMs would not release resources on NetWare servers 
	   when Monitrix NLMs were unloaded.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Enhancements

	a. Monitrix nlms have a new command line option. By default Monitrix
	   NLMs will perform a self-inventory scan and 2.x server scan when
	   first loaded. If you specify the 'N' parameter within the 
	   MONSTART.NCF file you will turn off this initial scanning process. 
	   The next scheduled self scan will take place 4 hours later on a 
	   primary server and 2 hours later on a secondary server. The 
	   purpose of this option is to allow the administrator to skip a 
	   possible long inital scan and begin auto-exploring the network 
	   immediately.

	   Example of 'N' parameter format:

	   SYS:SYSTEM\MONSTART.NCF file contents:

		LOAD ALERT.NLM
		BSTART
		LOAD SYS:\MONITRIX\NLM\MONITRIX  N

	   NOTE: The Monitrix console will display the following text
		 upon startup when the 'N' option is used:

			Soft Inventory is OFF

	   If the 'N" option is not used then the above statement
	   will NOT be displayed.


	b. PCINFO.EXE has two new paramaters '-A' and '-N'. The '-A'
	   option forces PCINFO.EXE to automatically login to the 
	   server specified on the command line. The following example
	   forces PCINFO to send the workstation scan information to 
	   the Monitrix server called MY_SERVER even if the workstation
	   is not logged into MY_SERVER.

	   Ex. PCINFO MY_SERVER -A      

	   The '-N' parameter forces PCINFO.EXE to skip the software
	   inventory portion of the self-scan. 

	   Ex. PCINFO MY_SERVER -N

	   Format: PCINFO <Server_name> -A -N -V        

	    -A Forces login to serve name
	    -N Forces skip of software scan
	    -V Verbose Mode

	   note: The -A option applies to PRIMARY servers only and
		 does NOT apply to secondary servers. 

	c. Monitrix activity enhancment - All Monitrix consoles now
	   show an activity arrow indicating self-inventory activity.
	   Previous Monitrix consoles have appeared to be "hung"
	   when the self-inventory process was active upon startup.
	   You should see the following new text within the Monitrix
	   console:

		<Starting Inventory Scan>
		>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

		<Ending Inventory Scan>

	   
	   Note: This activity arrow appears only upon Monitrix startup.
		 Afterwards only the the starting and ending scan statments
		 above will be displayed.
		   
	d. Monitrix NLMs and PCINFO.EXE were enhanced to more accurately
	   identify hardware such as Compaqs and Pentiums pcs.
	   PCINFO.EXE video card memory and screen resolution are 
	   now gathered more accurately as well.

4. Installation Procedure

   Important: Please copy your old files to another location before 
	      installing updated files.


	a. Monitrix Manager files

	   Copy all files in the \windows directory to your Monitrix Manager
	   directory. These new DLLs use reflect Gigabyte sizes instead of
	   Megabyte sizes.

	b. New Volume Reports

	   Copy the report files VOL1.RPT, VOL2.RPT, VOL3.RPT to your
	   \emptydb and \database directories where Monitrix was installed
	   on your server. These files use Gigabyte sizes instead of 
	   Megabyte sizes.

	c. Server nlms

	   3.1x Primary Monitrix servers only
	   -----------------------------------
	   Copy ALL files from the \nlm\3x directory to the 
	   \<Monitrix Directory>\nlm subdirectory on your 3.1x server.
	

	   4.x Primary Monitrix servers only
	   -----------------------------------
	   Copy ALL files from the \nlm\4x directory to the 
	   \<Monitrix Directory>\nlm directory on your 4.x server.
	   

	   ALL Secondary servers
	   ---------------------
	   For all existing secondary servers execute the 
	   'Install Secondary Server' option in the Server Configuration
	   menu within the Monitrix Manager. This option will overwrite
	   your old nlms with the new nlm set. The installation will
	   detect the NetWare version running on the secondary server and copy
	   the correct nlms for that NetWare version.

	d. PCINFO.EXE - Copy PCINFO.EXE from the \pcinfo directory
			on this diskette to the \Monitrix directory
			on your Primary server. 


			 ****** Important ******

	  Copy PCINFO.EXE and CPQMODEL.TXT to your Primary server first
	  before running the Install Secondary option. The Install Secondary
	  option copies PCINFO.EXE and the CPQMODEL.TXT from the Primary server
	  to the secondary server as part of secondary server installation. 
	  Otherwise the old PCINFO.EXE will be copied instead.
