            Version 1.05       23 December 1988
-------------------------------------------------------------------


NWPATCH.EXE is a patch utility for Novell NetWare (*) drivers
that operate with Megahertz LapLAN adapter boards.  This utility 
will patch the following files:

NetWare v2.0a:	(MHZ driver versions 2.05 or later)
   SHELLDRV.OBJ - WORKSTATION
	ACOMDRV.OBJ  - SERVER   BCOMDRV.OBJ - SERVER 
	CCOMDRV.OBJ  - SERVER   DCOMDRV.OBJ - SERVER 
		
NetWare v2.1x, including ELS NetWare Level II:
(MHZ driver versions 2.10.0 or later)
	WD8003SH.OBJ - WORKSTATION
	WD8003AD.OBJ - SERVER   WD8003BD.OBJ - SERVER 
	WD8003CD.OBJ - SERVER   WD8003DD.OBJ - SERVER 

NetWare WDELS Level I:
   ANET3.COM  - WORKSTATION
	NET$OS.EXE - SERVER 

    
A COPY of the file to be patched should be put in your default
drive/directory before the patch program is executed.  It is not
safe to patch a driver unless there is a backup copy of the
original driver saved on a different disk or directory.

The patch program can then be started by typing NWPATCH.  The
user should know:

   o which Novell version of NetWare the driver is from;
   o whether the driver is for a workstation or server;
   o for a server driver, whether it is to be the primary,
     secondary, etc.; 
   o for NetWare v2.0a drivers, what the MHZ driver version
     number or the creation date of the original driver is;
   o for NetWare ELS, what the MHZ driver version number
     is (using the ANET3.COM program, typing "ANET3 i" will
     cause the version number to be displayed).

Follow the instructions given by the patch utility to change
the:
	PC INTERRUPT (IRQ)
	BASE I/O ADDRESS
	SHARED RAM MEMORY BASE ADDRESS

The patch utility DOES NOT do error checking, so please ensure
that the new values entered are VALID!  When the parameters
displayed match the values desired, enter 'E' or 'e' to save
them in the appropriate driver file.

To quit the program without making any changes in the driver
file, enter 'Q' or 'q'.


== NETWARE GENERATION ==

If you used NWPATCH to change a driver for NetWare v2.1x, be
sure to note the following rules when you run the NetWare shell
or system generation programs:

   o Do not select Default Configuration from the Configuration
     Level menu.
   o Select the "WD Star/EtherCard PLUS ..." driver option from
     the Available LAN Drivers menu.
   o Then select Option 0 from the Driver Configurations menu,
     even though the text shown for Option 0 does not match the
     changes that you made with the NWPATCH program.
