Problem Description: 

    Saving large spreadsheets or workbooks from Microsoft Excel 4.0 to
    a network disk, mounted with PC-NFS 5.1 in non-sharing mode, causes 
    the resulting file to be corrupt.

Patch Installation Instructions: 

    On the system where PC-NFS is installed, save the existing PCNFS.SYS 
    file.  Use DOS debugger to modify two bytes in the PCNFS.SYS file. 
    Reboot the system.  


    Select the drive where PC-NFS is installed.

        C:                              

    Change to the directory where PC-NFS is installed.

	CD \NFS

    Save the original PCNFS.SYS file.

        COPY \NFS\PCNFS.SYS \NFS\PCNFS.FCS

    Start the DOS debugger.

        DEBUG PCNFS.SYS

    At the debug prompt (-), enter the following debug commands.

        -e b7d6  <RETURN> 90<space>90<RETURN>

    Output from the debugger after editing will look similar to this:

        2CB7:B7D6  8B.90  DE.90

    Write the changes to disk and quit.

        -w
        -q

    Reboot the PC.


    All drive letter and directory name references are PC-NFS defaults.   
    If you have installed PC-NFS on a different drive or in a different
    directory, substitute your drive and directory names in the example 
    commands.
