---------------------------------------------------------------------

          Added features in version 4.00:

          ============================================

          1. Native NDS support
             The CD-ROM server now emulates a 4.10 Novell NetWare NDS server
             and integrates fully with NDS security.

          2. Extended 2 SMB
             The CD-ROM server now handles the Extended 2 SMB (LANMAN 2.1) 
             dialect which supports long file names.

          3. NetWare Long Name Space
             The CD-ROM server now supports Long Name Space (OS2 Name Space) 
             i.e. long file names in NetWare.

          4. Improved Volume Rights setting
             The settings of the volume rights settings has been simplified by 
             moving the scsi.ini file settings to the volume files respectively.
             Setting the rights from HTTP has improved by dividing the settings 
             into server, cdrom and scsi categories.

          5. SMB comment
             An SMB Comment can be entered for each CD for additional share-level 
             information for the users looking for a specific CD on the network.

          6. Year 2000 compliance
             The internal time and date handling of the CD-ROM server will 
             now be able to handle the transition to year 2000.


          Corrected problems in version 4.00:

          =============================================

          7. NetWare client disconnect problems
             Burst mode support has been improved which solves problems with
             clients losing their mappings.

          8. NetWare open file problem
             Resource allocation problems involving file handles has been
             corrected. This problem could make it necessary to reboot
             the server after a couple of days of heavy use.

          9. NetWare clients using preferred server cannot login
             Problems with clients not being able to find their preferred server 
             when being attached to the StorPoint have now been corrected. The 
             reason was a bug which caused the SAP database to run out of resources.

         10. NetWare 16 KB free on CD problem
             The CD-ROM server would previously show 16 KB free on CDs in
             the Windows for Workgroups File Handler. This made it impossible
             to install and run some applications using 16 bit clients for
             Windows for Workgroups.
        
         11. Grace Login problems in NetWare
             Previous problems when using Grace Login in NetWare has now been corrected.

         12. SMB over TCP/IP problems
             The NBT support (SMB over TCP/IP) has been improved when it comes to 
             copying of large files in WfW and some stability issues.

         13. SMB password problems
             The problems with security control in SMB has been corrected.

         14. HTTP slash problem
             If you supplied a path to a directory without an ending slash,
             it was impossible to follow links from the default page in the
             directory since the link path would be concatenated with the
             directory. The CD-ROM server now responds with a "document
             moved" message with a reference to the same directory path
             but with a trailing slash. This solves the problem.

         15. NW users in HTTP statistics file
             Previously the NetWare users currently using the CD server was missing
             in statistics file when accessed from a Web browser.

         16. TCP keep alive
             The TCP keep alive messages sent out have been reduced in order to 
             not keep e.g. ISDN lines up unnecessarily.

         17. Nakamichi MJ 4.8 changer support
             The release 1.05 of the Nakamichi MJ4.8 disc changer includes a bug which
             introduces some SCSI problems. This is now taken care of by the StorPoint.

         18. Amount of installed RAM
             The amount of installed RAM is now shown correctly in the statistics file.
