TITLE:  Arabic Win95 Login Problem & Netware
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   In Arabic Windows 95 Operation Service Release 1 (SR1), that has 
   MS Client for Netware Networks installed, if the Login Script 
   Processing feature is ENABLED, the following error message is 
   encountered after the login name and password have been entered:
   
        Error starting program
        The <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ast.com/D-OTHER/NWLSPROC.EXE">NWLSPROC.EXE</A> file is linked to missing export
        NWNET32.DLL:70
   
   After this point, the system becomes unstable. There is no 
   problem at all if the Login Script Processing feature is 
   DISABLED.
   
   This issue only affects systems installed with Arabic Windows 95.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   This particular problem applies only to the Arabic Windows 95, 
   and it is independent of network card (s) and system hardware. 
   This problem is not found in the English version of Windows 95.    

 
ACTION 
 
   To resolve this issue perform the following:
   
   1. Download the file named <A HREF="ftp://ftp.ast.com/D-OTHER/NWLSPROC.EXE">NWLSPROC.EXE</A> from any of AST's
      On-Line! services as follows:
   
      AST WWW Site:  http://www.ast.com
      AST On-Line! BBS*:  See IB0001.TXT
      CompuServe:  GO: ASTFORUM
      Prodigy:   JUMP: ASTSUPPORT
   
      * Refer to IB0001.TXT for a list of AST's 
        international BBS numbers.
   
      To decompress this file, create a temporary directory
      on your hard drive, copy the downloaded file to that 
      directory, and run the file. 
   
   2. Copy the file to the Arabic Windows 95 directory as
      follows:
   
              C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM 
   
   3. Restart the system. 
   
   This solution has been proven to work. However, it can only fix 
   the problem occuring in an installed system. If Arabic Windows 95 
   is reinstalled, the fix has to be applied again.
