Description of Hotfix
=====================

Update to Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 Post SP2

This update corrects two problems found in SNA Server relating to Year 2000
compliance in the following components:

Netview Alert Service (nvalert.exe):

- NVALERT formats local date/time (X'10) subvector incorrectly for year 2000. 
  The one-byte year field within this subvector should contain the last 
  two digits of the date. For the year 2000, this should be set to 00. However, 
  NVALERT was incorrectly setting the date field for year 2000 onward.

  Module updated (English):
  <snaroot>\system\nvalert.exe (Intel): 08/17/98  07:34p           66,144

  Module updated (Japanese):
  <snaroot>\system\nvalert.exe (Alpha): 12/06/98  08:06p           77,584 
  <snaroot>\system\nvalert.exe (Intel): 12/06/98  08:10p           68,704 


AFTP Server Service (aftpserv.exe): 

- The AFTP Server service does not show the file dates correctly for year 2000
  and beyond. For example, if a file was created on 3/18/2001, the AFTP Server
  would display a date of 3/18/101.

  Module updated (English):
  <snaroot>\system\aftpserv.exe (Intel): 03/04/99  06:24p         131,632

  Module updated (Japanese):
  <snaroot>\system\aftpserv.exe (Alpha): 10/14/98  08:46p         450,832 
  <snaroot>\system\aftpserv.exe (Intel): 10/14/98  08:32p         132,144 

Applying the Hotfix
===================

1. Extract the file and run the hotfix utility:

   Copy the appropriate self-extracting hotfix to a temporary directory, 
   and run the file to extract it:

    211y2ki.exe   - English (Intel)
    211y2kij.exe  - Japanese (Intel)
    211y2kaj.exe  - Japanese (Alpha) 

   After extracting the files, the hotfix can be installed by typing 
   "hotfix /install", without the quotation marks.

2. The symbol files are included but not installed. 

   These files may be manually installed by copying them to the
   <ntroot>\symbols\exe directory. For example:

     copy nvalert.dbg  c:\winnt40\symbols\exe
     copy aftpserv.dbg c:\winnt40\symbols\exe

   These files are not required, though may be useful for debugging purposes 
   if requested by support personnel.
