Bernie,
For Netware 4.x, you have to go to the server consoles and type:
servername:> LOAD INSTALL
select PROCUCT OPTIONS
select VIEW/CONFIGURE/REMOVE
This will bring up a list of installed options. There should be one
something like:
SPACK 8.00 v8.0 support pack for Netware 4.2/4.11
I beleive 8.0 is the latest service pack for Netware 4, and it is what I
have installed on my Netware 4 server. Yes, I still have a Netware 4
server, but it is not being used. It takes up space and electricity in the
computer room. I hope to retire it soon.
The service packs are free, get on Novell's web site, download the latest
one, and install it.
