THE ORIGIN OF THIS INFORMATION MAY BE INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TO

ISSUE
When installing Novell DOS 7 to a Windows 3.x configured
machine, changes are made to the Windows configuration for
the network interface to PERSONAL NetWare (or any network)
and to add Fastback (backup utility) and Search and Destroy
(virus checking utility).
When a user experiences a change or loss of a certain
Windows action after installing Novell DOS 7, the function
should be checked to these alterations.
Changes are made to three .INI files; WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI
and PROGMAN.INI. These three files are saved with the
filename extension .ND7 before being edited. The line
changes are as follows:
NOTE: The semicolon (;) in the following lines
represents a comment or remark line. They are
used to provide information about the preceding
line. They do not actually appear in the files.
WIN.INI
[windows]
NetWarn=1
;Added line, no function effect.
SYSTEM.INI
[boot]
network.drv=netware.drv
; Added if no network specified. Changes NETWARE.DRV to
NV7. Version may cause other networks to change or not
function (see NETWARE.DRV description below).
[boot.description]
network.drv=Personal NetWare (v1.0)
; Changes "No Network Installed" or specified network.
May cause version trouble with other types of network
installed.
[386Enh]
device=fastback.386
; Added line, added functionality.
network=*vnetbios,vnetware.386,vipx.386
; Line was network=*dosnet,*vnetbios. Functionality
change will cause protocol problem for DOSNET type
networks.

PROGMAN.INI
[Groups]
GroupX=C:\WINDOWS\NWDOS.GRP
; Where "X" is the next program group. This allows the
Novell DOS 7 program group, defined in NWDOS.GRP, to be
displayed. No functionality change.
FILES DELETED
With new functions of Novell DOS 7, files must be added to
reflect these utilities. Some files were deleted to reduce
confusion. Deleted files are the same as Novell DOS 7
commands. None of the deleted files are saved under any new
filename. The list below reflects these changes.
\WINDOWS\SETUP.HLP
; Known problem for running Windows setup that F1 help
key is not supported with this file deleted.
\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
; Parameter (switches) for MS DOS file must be matched
with equivalent Novell DOS 7 file or functionality
change will result.
\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
; Parameter (switches) for MS DOS file must be matched
with equivalent Novell DOS 7 file or functionality
change will result.
FILES OVERWRITTEN
When these files are overwritten for Novell network
operation, functionality problems with other installed
networks may arise. Original Windows files are saved as new
file names with an @ sign as the first character of the file
name.
NETWARE.DRV
; Version problems with Windows for Workgroups are known.
VNETWARE.386
; May cause network problems.
VIPX.386
