                       README FOR SYS368.ZIP

This README file accompanies SYSCON.EXE v3.68 for NetWare v3.11 and v2.2. The following files are included with this release:

Purpose:
SYSCON would fail to find the supervisor and guest mail directories on 286 servers which contained a dot in the name if the servername was longer than 8 characters. For example syscon would fail if a server was named OR.MORECHARES but would work if it was named OR2.2 This new SYSCON also fixes a problem of data and directories being deleted. This occurs when accessing "Trustee Directory Assignments" under "User Information" in the SYSCON utility. If an attempt is made to add rights to a user for a specific directory, and that directory pathname is entered incorrectly, with a forward slash following the colon after the volume name (i.e. SERVER/SYS:/PUBLIC/DOS), all data in that directory is lost.

Installation:

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

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

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

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