INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Prior the installation of NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 3 and NetWare 5.1 Support
Pack 6, place the appropriate script in this directory of the Support Pack:

For NW51sp6.exe, NW51sp6e.exe 
copy purge_nw\nw51sp6\Silent.ics to \SP\INSTALL
Install the Support Pack as directed in the Support Pack readme.

For NW6sp3.exe, NW6sp3_56.exe, NW6sp3e.exe,
copy purge_nw\nw6sp3\Silent.ics to \SP\INSTALL
Install the Support Pack as directed in the Support Pack readme.


Purge_nw.nlm
It does two things.
1.   Checks the flags on the directory.   If wrong it corrects them.
2.   Purges the _netware directory.
Will work on NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6 where volume SYS is a legacy volume or
NSS volume.  
Copy Purge_nw.nlm to sys:\system
load Purge_nw.nlm 

Can also be used with Zen for Servers, Cron, or loaded in the Autoexec.ncf.


ISSUE: 

Depending on which version of nwconfig.nlm was used to install NW51sp6.exe,
NW51sp6e.exe, NW6sp3.exe, NW6sp3_56.exe, NW6sp3e.exe, will cause the file
attibutes of the _netware directory to be set incorrectly.  There may be other
reasons the _netware directory may be flagged incorrectly.
