My Novell Server says it won't support long file names.   How do I run Update?

First, create a temporary directory on a local drive with at least 100MB of free diskspace greater than the size of the MANEX System subdirectory on the server. Name this directory "MANEXTMP". Then copy all files and subdirectories from the "MANEX" directory on the server to the local drive in this subdirectory (MANEXTMP).

Follow the procedures for updating, except when the program asks for the MANEX System directory, select the local directory C:\MANEXTMP. The program should run without a problem.

After the update has completed, then copy ALL files and subdirectories from the C:\MANEXTMP back to the MANEX System directory on the server.  After verifying that the update was successful and that MANEX is working properly on the server, then DELETE the MANEXTMP directory and all files and subdirectories below it.
