Novell NetWare 3.11 Operating System Patches

Novell have just released version 5 of the operating system patch kit for NetWare 3.11.

311PT5.ZIP contains 33 patches for Novell NetWare 3.11. Version 5 of the kit supersedes all previous releases of the 3.11 OS patches distributed by Novell (under the names 311PT1.ZIP, 311PT2.ZIP, 311PT3.ZIP and 311PT4.ZIP).

Version 5 of the patch kit includes all the patches found in previous releases, and one new patch.

The new patch is as follows (text taken from the release document 311PT5.DOC):-

FATFIX.NLM This patch fixes a problem with TurboFAT and FAT corruption in general, when multiple workstations randomly access large database files.
Note: Please observe the instructions in 311PT5.DOC with regard to the installation of FATFIX.NLM.

As with previous versions of the patch kit, Novell do not require that any of the patches in the archive be loaded UNLESS problems are experienced, in which case the appropriate patch to overcome the problem encountered should be loaded. There is a full readme document in the archive that explains what all the patches are and what they fix. In particular, any patches to fix ABEND or disk FAT errors should be checked before reporting problems to Technical Support.

Version 5 of the NetWare 3.11 Operating System patch kit is available as a single archive, 311PT5.ZIP (52620 bytes), and can be obtained from Authorised Novell Distributors, from the Novell NetWire service, or from the Apricot Technical Support Bulletin Board System (in file area 37).
