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

Update to Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 Service Pack 1

This update corrects one problem 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:
  <snaroot>\system\nvalert.exe (Alpha):  12/07/98  12:25a   77,072
  <snaroot>\system\nvalert.exe (Intel):  12/07/98  12:24a   66,608 

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

1. Extract the file and run the hotfix utility.

   Copy the hotfix to a temporary directory, and type "40y2kaj" or "40y2kij /x"
   (without the quotation marks).
     
   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

   This file is not required, though may be useful for debugging purposes 
   if requested by support personnel.
