ABSTRACT:

This file corrects a problem with previous versions of
MONITOR.NLM for NetWare 3.11 that could cause a General
Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) on the server.  The GPPE
would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded for extended
periods of time.  This file keeps the console locked in cases
such as PSERVER being unloaded remotely through PCONSOLE.

                      README of MON176.EXE

 This README file of MON176.EXE accompanies MONITOR.NLM v1.76 for
NetWare v3.11 v3.12.

 This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.76) includes a fix to keep the console
locked in MONITOR under all conditions. In previous versions of
MONITOR if an application such as the PServer was unloaded
remotely via PCONSOLE it would cause the console to unlock.

 This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.76) corrects a problem seen in
previous versions of MONITOR.NLM.  These previous versions could
cause a "General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) running
process Monitor Background process" error on the server.  This
would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded for extended
periods of time (30 days or so) and was caused by resource
contention between the foreground and background processes of
MONITOR.  This version supercedes previous versions and includes
all such fixes.

 To install MONITOR.NLM v1.76 complete the following
instructions:

      (note,  unload MONITOR at the console)

 1)   Flag MONITOR.NLM as N (Normal) in the SYS:SYSTEM directory.

 2)   Rename the existing copy of MONITOR.NLM to MONITOR.OLD for
backup purposes.

 3)   Copy this new version of MONITOR.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM
directory.

 4)   Flag the new copy of MONITOR.NLM back to SRO (Sharable Read
Only).

 5)   Type LOAD MONITOR at the console.
