SYMPTOM

     NLMs that get time and date information from the CLIB.NLM file will get
     incorrect time and date.  This is particularly acute for database servers
     such as Gupta and Oracle.  The behavior is as follows:

     1.   As the time changes from 23-OCT-1993 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 
          24-OCT-1993, the time and date obtained from CLIB.NLM will be pushed
          FORWARD one hour.

     2.   As the time changes from 30-OCT-1993 23:59:59 to 00:00:00
          31-OCT-1993, the time and date obtained from CLIB.NLM will be pushed
          BACKWARD one hour.

SOLUTION

     Apply the CLIB.NLM 3.12f from the LIBUP2.EXE file.

SYMPTOM

     When NLMs such as PSERVER are unloaded, the server will abend with the
     following message:

     MESSAGE

          Abend: SERVER-4.00-362: CloseScreen called with a screen that is
          still being used.

SOLUTION

     Apply the CLIB.NLM 4.01d from the LIBUP2.EXE file.
