              NetWare Driver Patch Utility
                     User Document

NWPATCH.EXE is a patch utility for Novell NetWare (*) drivers 
that operate with Western Digital (WD) "PLUS" (WD8003) family 
LAN adapter boards.  This utility will patch the following files:

NetWare v2.0a:	(WD driver versions 2.05 or later)
        SHELLDRV.OBJ - WORKSTATION
	ACOMDRV.OBJ - SERVER    BCOMDRV.OBJ - SERVER 
	CCOMDRV.OBJ - SERVER    DCOMDRV.OBJ - SERVER 
		
NetWare v2.1:	(WD driver versions 2.10.0 or later)
	WD8003SH.OBJ - WORKSTATION
	WD8003AD.OBJ - SERVER   WD8003BD.OBJ - SERVER 
	WD8003CD.OBJ - SERVER   WD8003DD.OBJ - SERVER 

NetWare ELS:	ANET3.COM - WORKSTATION
		NET$OS.EXE - SERVER 

                          NOTE
   NetWare drivers for Micro Channel adapters configure
   themselves automatically and never need to be patched.

A COPY of the file to be patched should be put in your default
drive/directory before the patch program is executed.  It is not
safe to patch a driver unless there is a backup copy of the
original driver saved on a different disk or directory.

The patch program can then be started by typing NWPATCH.  The
user should know:

   o which Novell version of NetWare the driver is from;
   o whether the driver is for a workstation or server;
   o for a server driver, whether it is to be the primary, 
     secondary, etc.; 
   o for NetWare v2.0a drivers, what the WD driver version 
     number or the creation date of the original driver is;
   o for NetWare ELS, what the WD driver version number
     is (using the ANET3.COM program, typing "ANET3 i" will
     cause the version number to be displayed).

Follow the instructions given by the patch utility to change
the:
	PC INTERRUPT (IRQ)
	BASE I/O ADDRESS
	SHARED RAM MEMORY BASE ADDRESS

The patch utility DOES NOT do error checking, so please ensure
that the new values entered are VALID!  When the parameters 
displayed match the values desired, enter 'E' or 'e' to save 
them in the appropriate driver file.

To quit the program without making any changes in the driver
file, enter 'Q' or 'q'.
