*6. AUTOCAD RELEASE 14.01 PATCH         
    
Autodesk has identified a problem you may experience when you 
attempt to open a drawing file on a remote network drive using 
AutoCAD release 14 on certain servers. AutoCAD displays a warning 
message stating that the drawing is in use or is read-only; 
although neither of these conditions exists, the drawing cannot 
be edited. This problem occurs primarily on third-party file 
servers that use the SMB redirector network interface, but on 
occasion it has also occurred using Windows NT, 95, and 98 
servers. To address this issue, Autodesk released a patch that 
resolves an operating system timing conflict that the third-party 
file server interprets as a file-sharing violation. For more 
details and to download the patch, go to

Novell has released the latest Support Pack for its NetWare 5 OS.

contained in the NetWare 5 box. Because it provides a bundle of 
fixes that are all tested together, Novell does not recommend 
installing individual files. For more information and to download 
this patch file, nw5sp2.exe, go to

*8. VBSCRIPT BUG        
    
Microsoft has identified a problem you may experience when using 
Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition, versions 3.0 or 4.0. 
The problem occurs when you attempt to assign Request.Form or 
QueryString items in a Scripting Dictionary object cached in 
Session scope. When you do, you will corrupt your data, resulting 
in empty fields or items containing garbage text. The problem 
occurs because VBScript doesn't use IDispatch to fetch the 
Response object's default property. Microsoft states that the 
solution is to ensure that only string values are stored in 
Dictionaries. You can get a more detailed description of the 
problem and the resolution in the article Q216825 titled, "BUG: 
Assignment of Multi-valued Objects in Request Object Causes 
Corruption in Scripting Dictionary" at

AutoCAD LT 98/97 Help system with Internet Explorer 5.0. If you 
have upgraded your browser to IE 5.0, the content area in the 
Help system fails to display any information, showing just the 
tabs. To resolve the problem, you can download a repaired help 
file that works with Internet Explorer 4 and 5. For additional
