ECO KIT SUMMARY:

This kit is intended for customers who use the network connectivity
options provided by their Native operating systems and network operating
systems and who have purchased licenses for connecting to PATHWORKS
Servers. 

Problems Addressed in the PWLIC15 Kit:

  o  Protection against license servers that send packets containing less
     than 4 bytes.  This is now reported as "bad encryption" rather than
     causing a program crash.
 
  o  Fixed a problem where a Windows 95 LAN Manager client will,
     incorrectly, treat a license server as totally unreachable if it is
     unreachable over the first LANA. 
 
  o  Fixed a problem in the Windows NT access rights to the communication
     channel between the Requester and Transponder.  This allows the
     Requester to load licenses into the Transponder even when run from a
     user account. 
 
  o  Fixed the message for Error 57 to show the correct LANA number.          
                                                                              
  o  Added a dependency to the Windows NT installation data to prevent a
     rare startup sequence problem. 
 
  o  Replaced unprintable characters with printable characters when
     displaying (or logging) NetBIOS names used by License Servers and
     License Registrars. 
 
  o  Added code to avoid a problem in our Windows 95 DECnet stack that
     causes the appearance of 100% CPU utilization while waiting for any
     synchronous NetBIOS operation. 

Please refer to the README.TXT located in the kit's top-level directory
for more information.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

If this kit is obtained from the CSC, it will already be uncompressed
onto 5 diskettes. 

However, you may have received this ECO kit as a self-extracting ZIP file
(PWLIC15_EO1.EXE or PWLIC15.EXE).  If so, follow the steps below to
uncompress the kit. 

  1. Create an MS-DOS command prompt window.
  
  2. Create a temporary directory on the PC's local hard drive.

     For example:   C:\> MKDIR C:\TMP
     
  3. Copy PWLIC15_EO1.EXE to the \TMP directory.  (If the native
     operating system does not support long file name be sure to change
     the name to conform, e.g., pwlic15.exe.) 
     
  4. Expand the .EXE kit by typing the file name at the command line
     prompt followed by the "-d" option switch. (The "-d" must be
     lowercase).  This switch preserves the directory structure within
     the kit. 
     
     A target destination may be specified at the end of the command
     line.  If no destination is specified, it will expand the files in
     the current directory. 
     
     For example:  C:\TMP> PWLIC15_EO1.EXE -d 
     
     This will expand the file into its individual components with the
     directory structure intact and place them in the C:\TMP\ directory. 
     
  5. Follow the directions in README.TXT for installation details.
