Installation:
1. Expand 491psp4_nwslp.zip (this file) to a temporary folder.
2. Open the folder.
3. (Recommended, but optional) Rename the existing NWSLP.SYS in the \system32\netware folder to NWSLP.OLD (or some other name). DO NOT REBOOT BEFORE PROCEEDING!

a) Run the _491psp4_nwslp.bat file.
b) Right-Click on _491psp4_nwslp.inf and then click on INSTALL.
c) Manually copy and replace the existing NWSLP.SYS in the directory listed in Step 3, above.
5. You will be prompted to reboot. This reboot is required to complete the installation.

Overlaying the 4.91 SP4 installation set
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, extract this package to a temporary location, then copy the resultant directory structure to over the top of the i386 folder in your Novell Client installation.

Technical Support Information:
This version of NWSLP.SYS fixes the following issues seen with the 4.91 SP4 code:
