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 _491psp5_nwfs.bat file.

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 SP5" installation.
