TITLE:  Novell Client v4.90 SP2 UTF8 Support
TID #:  2969266
README FOR:  49sp2_utf8.exe

NOVELL PRODUCTS and VERSIONS:
Novell Client v4.9 for Windows NT/2000/XP

ABSTRACT:

In NetWareŽ deployments where the client and server are using different code
pages, some international characters or entire file and directory names might
be converted incorrectly and subsequently become unusable by the client, other
clients, and backup software. This problem has existed for a long time, but has
become more widely spread as support for multiple language packs with
Microsoft* Windows and other desktop products has increased. 
To resolve this, we have updated several components in NetWare 6.5 Support Pack
2 and the NovellŽ Client(TM) to support current Unicode implementations. This
makes it possible to access multiple language files from an NCP(TM) client
without changing the code page on either the NCP client or the NetWare server.

This update to the Novell Client 4.9 SP2 also requires that NetWare 6.5 SP2 be
running on the server.

ISSUE: 

This update to the Novell Client 4.9 SP2 also requires that NetWare 6.5 SP2 be
running on the server.

This update to the Novell Client for Windows includes support for the new Case
89 NCP clients. This lets it take file and directory names which come to it (in
Unicode) and send them to the file server without first mapping them to the
client's local code page. This lets the Windows client support different code
pages and fonts; the local file system as well as the CIFS protocol already
support this feature. Note that there is a switch to turn on Case 89 support
and it is turned off by default to preserve current behavior for customers that
aren't seeing problems. This is designed to be backward compatible in that it
will use the older Case 87 NCPs when talking to servers that don't support Case
89. 

Please see the enclosed file, UTF8-patch.html, for additional information.
