                      README FOR FLGDIR.EXE

This README file accompanies FLAGDIR.EXE v1.21 for NetWare v3.11 and v2.2.

Purpose:
This version of FLAGDIR.EXE fixes a problem when attempting to execute the
FLAGDIR command as follows:

     FLAGDIR *.  <attribute>

This command will appear to hang the workstation if the directory has a dot
in the name, e.g., dirname.extension.  FLAGDIR would go into an infinite
loop if a dot extension was found.

This version also incorporates a previous fix to FLAGDIR that fixes a
problem of error messages being returned by FLAGDIR if the server name is 8
or more characters.


Installation:

1)    Flag FLAGDIR.EXE in the public directory to SRW.

2)    Copy FLAGDIR.EXE from the public directory to a diskette for backup
purposes.

3)    Copy this version of FLAGDIR.EXE to the public directory.

4)    Flag FLAGDIR.EXE in the public directory to SRO.
