Changes since previous release
Installation and Configuration
• Added a new file SMPCE.NLM that resides in the SM folder on the Netware server. It is
auto-loaded by SMAcnt.NLM. SMPCE was extracted from SMAcnt to make the software
more modular. This permits page-counting changes and enhancements to be distributed
in the same way as its Windows counterpart, SMPCE.dll.
