This loader is intended for NetWare 386 v3.11 (all
number-of-user versions) and requires the utility
XLOAD.EXE in order to be applied.  

This LDR001.PTF contains the following revisions:
1)   This LDR001.PTF fixes an existing problem with PS/2
     machines with type 2 keyboards.  If the server is
     loaded at these machines and any key is pressed,
     strange characters may appear at the console
     prompt.  

2)   When performing a core memory dump on some machines, the
     OS will continue to prompt "Insert a formatted
     disk" even after one has been inserted.  

3)   Some 486 machines with the math co-processor will
     hang after the server has been downed. 

4)   LDR001.PTF fixes a problem encountered when using the network 
     server mode password on IBM PS/2 machines. Previously 
     when setting the network server mode password on and loading 
     NetWare 386 v3.11, the server would appear to lock up during 
     the loading of the OS. This new loader solves this problem.

     Note: After activating the keyboard by entering the password, 
     the <NUM LOCK> key may not be properly synchronized.  Tapping 
     the <NUM LOCK> key three times will ensure that functionality
     is correct.  

5)   On some PS/2s, the server hangs when loading.  This
     was because bit 20 was not enabled.  This new
     loader uses port 92 to enable bit 20.   

6)   This version of the loader modifies the DoEndOfInterrupt, so that it 
     translates int 2 to int 9.  The problem was that an end of interrupt
     was not being issued to the controller as it should. 

7)   LDR001.PTF is referred to by Intel documentation for their
     SnapIn 386 module as the "NetWare 386 Bit20 Patch".  

These fixes will be incorporated is future version of
LDRxxx.PTF for NetWare 386 3.11. 


Installation:
