Instructions for Decompressing Files

All of the above files are compressed in self-extracting archive format, containing SNA Server 3.0 SP1. To extract each file, copy the file to a separate empty directory on your hard drive and run the file using the "-d" option. For example: 

    30SP1IS.EXE -d <PATH>
Where <PATH> is the destination directory for the service pack. If you wish to extract the service pack to the current directory, leave <PATH> blank.

After the service pack file has been decompressed, run the UPDATE.EXE program to install the updated SNA Server 2.11 server or client files, as appropriate.

NOTE: The UPDATE program will automatically stop any SNA Server services which may be running.
