NOVELL MAKES EVERY EFFORT WITHIN ITS MEANS TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION. HOWEVER, THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY. NOVELL MAKES NO EXPLICIT OR IMPLIED CLAIMS TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS INFORMATION. ----------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOM This file contains updated Novell DLLs for users of Windows 3.1x and Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) 3.11. SOLUTION Copy the updated files to the appropriate directories, and restart Windows. Files marked with an '^' have been updated since WINUP9.EXE. Files marked with an '*' are new since WINUP9.EXE. NOTE: When you expand NWDLL1.EXE, it will automatically create three sub-directories: NWDLL401 (containing Windows DLLs for NETX and VLMs workstations); NWDLL402 (containing Windows DLLs for VLMs workstations running NetWare 4.02) OLDDLLS (containing DLLs that may be needed for some Windows applications.

This client installation process guarantees the proper installation of the appropriate files and settings. If this option is not available, then proceed with the directions found below. Make a backup of any files currently on your workstation or File Server that appear in the list above. FOR THE FILES IN THE SUB-DIRECTORIES OF NWDLL1.EXE: Note: The files in the \NWDLL401\ directory are for use with either NETX or VLM workstation configurations excluding NWGDI.DLL which is only required for NETWARE.DRV v3.03 found in WINDR1.EXE. Note: The files in the \NWDLL402\ directory are for use with VLM workstations configurations that are using NetWare 4.02 and specifically NWADMIN v4.06. The update of NWADMIN from v4.05 to v4.06 that shipped with NetWare 4.02, requires these updated Dynamic Link Libraries found in this sub-directory. Copy the following files to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory: NWCALLS.DLL APIs for NCP communication between the f/s and w/s. NWIPXSPX.DLL APIs for IPX/SPX communication. NWLOCALE.DLL APIs for localization and internationalization of applications. NWNET.DLL Network API support for NDS, etc. NWPSRV.DLL Contains print server services APIs. NWGDI.DLL APIs for Graphical Display Interface for NETWARE.DRV v3.03. *PNW.DLL APIs for Personal NetWare Graphical Utilities. *Note: If you are not using Novell's Personal NetWare product, the PNW.DLL is not required. However, if the PNW.VLM is loaded when Windows starts, NETWARE.DRV will expect PNW.DLL to be loaded. If it is not found, a error message will appear. Note: Depending on your previous installation, the DLLs or other files listed above may be located in the \WINDOWS directory. Make sure that you have a copy of the files listed above only in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (for stand alone version if shared version then update the DLLs in the shared directory), as you may have spurious results if you have different versions of the same DLL located in each of the directories. The recommended configuration is to place all the files listed in the section above only in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. FOR THE FILES IN THE SUB-DIRECTORY [OLDDLLS]: Note: The files located in the [OLDDLLS] sub-directory are older DLLs that are no longer maintained by NOVELL. They are included in this file as a resource for applications or SYSTEMS that may require their use. Note: If a DLL found in the WINDR1\OLDDLLS directory ships from a vendor, for example, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (WFWG) ships a newer NETAPI.DLL 11-03-94 than the one included in WINDR1\OLDDLLS, then use the newer of the two files. Copy the following files from [OLDDLLS] to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory: NETAPI.DLL v1.3D API support for the SQL Server front end. NWNETAPI.DLL v1.30 Same as NWCALLS.DLL. Will be phased out. NWPSERV.DLL v1.30 Contains older print server services APIs. Some applications specifically call this DLL. It is being replaced by NWPSRV.DLL More on [OLDDLL] files - These files are older versions of the NetWare API dynamic link libraries (DLLs). These DLLs are used by some applications. A good rule of thumb to follow is to check your WINDOWS and WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories to see if these files exist. If they do, and they are older than the DLLs on this diskette, update them with the files on this diskette. If the DLL exists in the Windows directory move it into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory for consistency. If they are not in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, then they are not needed and do not need to be copied. If you do install an application which uses any of these DLLs, you can use these files to update the DLLs, provided these DLLs are newer than the ones shipped from the vendor. In the case of the NETAPI.DLL shipped in WFWG 3.11, use the one provided by Microsoft. Note: For more details on how to set up the VLMs and/or NETX workstations with a networked version of Windows, refer to VLMWIN.TXT found in WINDR1.EXE\READMES. Any comments or suggestions on how we can improve the delivery of these client update files are welcomed. Any enhancment request to these drivers are welcomed at the same address.
