This patch contains bug fixes for the NFS 1.1 release. The bugs/problems
addressed are:

1.	NFS server could run out of NFS request queue when the network is
	misconfigured.
2.	NFS server needs to have a static patch mechanism.
 
To install this version of NetWare NFS 1.1 Update:
 
1)	From a DOS workstation, login as supervisor, to the file server
	where the patch is going to be applied.
2)	Make a copy of the NFSSERV.NLM, which is located in the SYS volume
	under the SYSTEM directory. For example:
		COPY NFSSERV.NLM NFSSERV.SAV
3)	Remove the READ-ONLY attribute from SYS:SYSTEM/NFSSERV.NLM.
                FLAG NFSSERV.NLM RW
4)	Copy both NFSPATCH.EXE and PREPATCH.CMD to the SYS:SYSTEM
	directory.
5)	Make SYS:SYSTEM the current directory, and run NFSPATCH.EXE at the
	DOS prompt as follows:
		NFSPATCH PREPATCH.CMD NFSSERV.NLM
	A message should appear indicating that <PREPATCH.CMD> has been
	applied.
6)	To verify whether the patch has been applied, execute the
	following command:
		NFSPATCH /v NFSSERV.NLM
7)	Now NFSSERV.NLM is patched. Use FLAG to replace the READ-ONLY
	attribute.
		FLAG NFSSERV.NLM RO
8)	To run the new NFSSERV.NLM, type at the NetWare console:
                :UNLOAD NFSSERV
                :LOAD NFSSERV
	Prior to unloading the NFSSERV.NLM, other NLMs such as PLPD, STATD,
	and LOCKD may have to be unloaded.
