INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

NJVM 1.4.1 requires NetWare 6 with Support Pack 3 or later.

1. Close the NetWare GUI.
2. Unload the previous version of NJVM (if loaded) by typing java -exit at the
system console.
3. Unload xlib.nlm (if loaded).
4. Map a drive or attach to the servers where you want to install the NJVM
1.4.1 files. You must have administrator rights to the sys: volume of the
servers.
5. Run jvm141sp1.exe on your workstation.
6. Follow the rest of the InstallShield instructions to complete the install.
7. (Optional) Reboot your servers.

If any problems occur with the GUI after you upgrade to NJVM 1.4.1, type stopx
at the system console and run VESA_RSP. This resets the GUI to the default
settings.

ISSUE: 

New Features include:
-  NJVM 1.4.1 has been updated to Sun's 1.4.1_02a code base.

-  The overall performance of NJVM 1.4.1 is improved.

-  The Window Manager has been updated to use a C-based taskbar, and provide
additional functionality.

-  The NetWare GUI has been decoupled from Java. Running startx no longer loads
Java; however, the NetWare GUI is loaded when you start a graphical Java
application (if the NetWare GUI has not already been loaded). Also, unloading
Java does not unload the NetWare GUI. NJVM 1.4.1 has a stopx command that lets
you close the NetWare GUI from the system console.

-  The GUI Server Console utility is now C-based and does not require Java to
be loaded. Multiple instances of the Server Console utility can be loaded. This
lets you view multiple server screens simultaneously from the NetWare GUI.

-  The Menu Editor lets you add toolbar buttons to the GUI taskbar and assign
hot keys for starting GUI applications.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
NJVM 1.4.1 requires NetWare 6 with Support Pack 3 or later.

Video Card Driver - When selecting a video driver, we recommend using the
standard XVesa driver.

Classes and Libraries - When writing graphical Java applications to run on
NetWare, we recommend using the Swing classes from Sun Microsystems.

Known Issues - Starting Console Commands from the NetWare GUI
Console commands that prompt for a key press to continue, such as "config" or
"modules", must not be started from the taskbar menu or the Run dialog.
However, you can run these commands from the Server Console utility.

NJVM 1.4.1 is a fully certified Java virtual machine. This release of NJVM
1.4.1 has passed all of the tests in Sun's Java Conformance Kit.  Novell
thoroughly tests NJVM releases before making them available to the public. All
Novell software products might not be compatible with NJVM 1.4.1 at this time.
