	Patches for Novell 2.15 Non-Dedicated Server Software
		Running on Intel PC Platforms.

Inside this pkarc'ed file there are two (2) different patch programs that
fix a slow-keyboard problem seen when running Novell Advanced Netware
Non-Dedicated Server software on Intel PC Platforms.  These patches are to
be applied to the final Netware kernel (net$os.ex1) created by Netgen.  The
program creates a new file called net$os.tmp that will replace net$os.ex1.

example:
copy net$os.ex1 net$os.org <-- save original
ptchbios net$os.ex1	   <-- create net$os.tmp with patch
ren net$os.tmp net$os.ex1  <-- use patched version of net$os.ex1

If the system is based on an Intel 302 Fab D motherboard has a BIOS version
prior to '1.10 12 F0B' the program PTCHFABD.EXE needs to be used.  If the
motherboard has a BIOS that is version '1.10 12 XXX' or later the program
PTCHBIOS.EXE should be used.

If the system is based on an Intel SBC386AT25 Fab D motherboard with an
earlier BIOS or is based on another Intel 25MHz (or faster) motherboard and
has an extremely slow keyboard while running non-dedicated Novell Netware
the system vendor should be contacted for more information.
