This is the README file for BNDFIX.EXE which contains 
BINDFIX.EXE Version 3.53 which replaces BINDFIX.EXE vX.XX that ships
with NNS v1.0 for NetWare v2.15C and above and NetWare v3.x.

The following files are included for this revision:

     BINDFIX.EXE    74,251     6-17-92   11:32p
     BNDFIX.TXT     this file

Purpose:

1)   This version of BINDFIX.EXE fixes a problem found when defining a user
     as a group member.  The user would be added to the list of members in
     the Group member list in NETCON, but when viewing the same information
     from the GROUPS BELONGED TO option, the group name would not appear in
     the list. If the system administrator tries to insert the group from 
     the GROUPS BELONGED TO, an error message "AddBinderyObjecttoSet 
     returned error 233" would appear (indicating that the member already 
     exists). If an attempt is made from the group side to delete the user
     from the group member list, the error "DeleteBinderyObjectFromSet 
     returned error 234" appears (indicating that the member doesn't exist). 

     BINDFIX v3.52 that ships with NNS v1.0 would not fix this problem. 
     BINDFIX does check links between users and groups for consistency but
     due to a programming issue, would only check the first 32 members of a
     group for consistency.  BINDFIX v3.53 checks all members of the group
     for consistency.

2)   This version of BINDFIX has been compiled using the large memory model. 
     It addresses the problem of BINDFIX running out of memory when checking 
     for duplicate OBJECTS or duplicate PROPERTIES.

3)   The previous fix (the large memory model) had an erroneous library linked
     in.  This version of Bindfix (3.53) has the correct library linked in.
     
To install this utility:     
 
1)    Flag BINDFIX.EXE as SRW (Sharable Read Write) in the SYSTEM directory.

2)    Rename BINDFIX.EXE to BINDFIX.OLD in the SYSTEM directory for 
      backup purposes.
    
3)    Copy BINDFIX.EXE to the SYSTEM directory.

4)    Flag the new copy of BINDFIX.EXE back to SRO (Sharable Read-Only).
