System Requirements:
This patch is designed to update the Novell Client v4.91 SP4 for Windows XP/2003. Be sure to install only on this version of the client.

Installation:
1. (Optional) Rename the existing nwfs.sys (with a .old extension, for example) in the \System32\netware folder. Do not reboot before proceeding!
2. Install the files by doing ONE of the following:
a) Run the _491psp4_nwfs_1.bat file.
b) Right-Click on _491psp4_nwfs_1.inf and then click on INSTALL.
c) Manually copy and replace the existing nwfs.sys in 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 your "Novell Client 4.91 SP4" installation.
