INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

NetWare 6:
This fix can ONLY be applied to a NetWare 6 server with sp5 installed. Not
intended for 5.1 or 6.5 OS.

1. Run mm60sp5.exe, unzipping the files into a directory.

2. If the directory where the files were extracted is not located on the server
to be updated, copy that directory structure to the server to be updated.

3. Load NWCONFIG.NLM on the server to be updated.

4. On the main menu of NWCONFIG.NLM, select "Product Options". This will
display a new menu. On this new menu, select "Install a product not listed" and
then press <ENTER>.

5. Follow the on screen prompts to correctly select the location of the
directory to where the patch was extracted on the server.

6. Press <F10> to start the file copy procedure.

Reboot Server

Note that the internal date displayed using the modules list on the server may
not match the date of the actual physical file. This behavior is normal and
does not indicate a problem. 

ISSUE: 

- Fixed multiple multi-pathing issues.

- Fixed an Abend caused by ScanForNewPartitions where the Media object had no
child when we expected it to have one.
	
- Fixed an Abend in the Generic Message abort code when a child object has no
abort routine registered.

- Fixed a problem where some servers would detect the group object before
making the mirror object.  This would cause the pool to not be seen. 

- Synchronized RAID code with NW6.5 which ported back multiple RAID\Mirroring
fixes.
