== OVERLAYING THE 49CLTNTe.EXE INSTALLATION SET ==

The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.9
installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell client
you will be installing the core 4.9 client and the updates contained in this
package in one operation.

To update the installation set with all the files in this patch set, extract
this package to a temporary location, then copy the resultant directory
structure to over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.9"
installation.

ISSUE: 

VIPX.EXE and VIPXVDD.DLL were inadvertently left out of the 4.9, 4.9 SP1, and
4.9 SP1a packages. These files will be included in the 4.9 SP2 release.

These files resolve the following problem:

IPX-dependant applications run slow. See TID 10069108.
