Installation:
1. (Optional) Rename the existing nwgina.dll and novnpnt.dll (with a .old extension, for example) in the \System32 folder. Do not reboot before proceeding!

a) Run the supplied .bat file.
b) Right-Click on the supplied .inf and click on INSTALL.
c) Manually copy and replace the existing nwgina.dll and novnpnt.dll in the directory listed in Step 1, above.
3. You will be prompted to reboot. This reboot is required to complete the installation.

The files in this package can also be overlaid on top of a Novell Client 4.91 SP4 installation set so that when SETUPNW.EXE is run to install the Novell client you will be installing the core 4.91 SP4 client and the updates contained in this package in one operation. To update the installation set with the file in this patch set, copy the directory structure over the top of the i386 folder in your "Novell Client 4.91 SP4" installation.
