                  LEAP YEAR FIX

Revision 0 of the 2.1 SFT NetWare operating system did not correctly
account for the leap year. As a result the day of the week is one day late.
The utility "LEAPFIX.EXE" will patch the operating system to correct the
day of the week.

The program may be run against the file "NET$OS.EXE" in SYS:SYSTEM.  Make
sure that "NET$OS.EXE" is flagged read/write before running the program.
The checksum will be adjusted to compensate for the patch. It will then be
necessary to re-boot to load the modified operating system.

This utility may also be run against the object file(s) prior to linking. 
The object files are "LEV2_1.OBJ", "LEV2-2.OBJ", "TTLEV2-1.OBJ" and
"TTLEV2-2.OBJ.  To run against the object file type "leapfix XXXX" where
"XXXX" is the name of the operating system object file. With 2.1 systems
shipped on 5.25" diskettes, it MAY be necessary to run the program against
both halves of the object file as it is not easy to determine which half
will be patched. The program will indicate it could not find the place to
apply the patch. At this time, the other half of the operating system
object file should have "LEAPFIX" run against it.
