Bugs fixed:

XXXX Fix to allow Add Users dialog to work on MS Windows NT 3.5

The Windows NT 3.1 LMCMNUI01.DLL was renamed to NETUI1.DLL under Windows NT 3.5. In order for the Add Users dialog of SNA Server Admin to work properly on both Windows NT 3.1 and 3.5, a change to the SNA Server Admin program was required.

Note: This update was included in the original Patch #17 (uploaded

      in February 1994), so only this readme file is being updated
      to properly mention this fix.

While administering a remote domain using the SNA Server Admin program, the local machine's accounts and groups are returned when adding an SNA Server user/group, instead of those from the remote workgroup or domain being administered.

1741 OEM Only: Allow LU pools in 1-user version of SNA Admin (Patch 7)

At the request of third party vendors who are licensing SNA Server for their 1-user products, LU pools have been reenabled.

1711 Admin updates APPC LU status display too often when occluded

      (Patch 10)

1731 Trap in Admin when moving gateway LU's between connections (Patch 10)

When dragging downstream LU's between connections, Admin encountered an application exception.

1734 Trap in Admin when Active Users window in foreground. (Patch 10)

Admin internal user structures were being freed and reused in error as new users connect and disconnect, leading to an application exception.

1735 Number of active users count wrong when count exceeds 100 (Patch 10)

Internal user counts were being incremented in error, when the active user counts exceeded 100.

1756 Trap in Admin when zooming on APPC LU status (Patch 10)

Properly handle zoom requests when the APPC LU status dialog is empty.
