abstract
This download file contains the following versions of the modular Libraries (IE: THREADS.NLM - 5.90.14 Dec, 14, 2006), LIBC 9.00.05 Jan 03, 2007) and DSAPI Libraries (NETNLM32.NLM - 6.00.06 Sept 25, 2006) for NetWare 5.1/6.0/6.5. This may only be applied to servers with minimum support packs. NW51SP8.EXE, NW60SP5.EXE, and NW65SP5.EXE. However, NOTE: the EOL (End of Life) has been reached for NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6.0, therefore not much testing is being done by Novell for these products.
details
*Note* - The DSAPI libraries are different for each OS because of the updated changes made to natively support UTF-8 in Netware 6.5 SP2. These fixes were not ported back to Netware 5.1 or 6.0. The latest DSAPI libraries can be found in the \DSAPI directory and will automatically be installed on Netware 6.5 servers but have not been tested on older platforms. Therefore, the install script will place the proper DSAPI libraries (tested) depending upon which OS this patch is installed on.
Refer to History.txt for previous changes.

A backup of your existing LIBC, CLIB and DSAPI library files will be saved to the SYS:SYSTEM\!BACKUP.LIB directory and C:\NWSERVER\!BACKUP.LIB. To go back to the previous version of the CLIB and DSAPI libraries, simply copy the files from the !BACKUP.LIB directories to the appropriate parent directories.
Note: An additional option has been put into the install script to allow for modular install. You may install just LIBC update, CLIB and DSAPI update, or both. The backup option is also optional but recommended.
