NETWARE REQUESTER FOR OS/2 2.1 STATUS
September 7, 1993
In response to many of your inquiries about NetWare* for OS/2** 2.1,
the current NetWare Client is version 2.01 and it is available with
NetWare 4.0/4.01 and via NetWire. This version supports both OS/2 2.0
and 2.1. Both full screen and windowed OS/2 sessions are fully
supported in the NetWare 3.11 and 4.0/4.01 environments.
Users that are running DOS and Windows applications over the network
should exercise caution. Some Windows applications will encounter a
General Protection Fault when trying to access the network. In some
cases, setting NetWare Resources to Private instead of Global will
correct the problem. Also, users who have NetWare 4.0/4.01 servers
installed should be aware that support for NetWare 4.0/4.01 Directory
Services is not yet available from DOS and WIN-OS2 sessions.
IBM** and Novell* are working together to address problems that
our mutual customers are experiencing. We will post additional
information as it becomes available. For special assistance,
IBM Marketing Reps can contact Kyle Bigler of IBM's Project
Office for Novell at (512) 838-8105.
The following information is from Novell, reprinted here with

This memo is to help you answer customers' questions about
the NetWare Client for OS/2.
Novell is currently shipping version 2.01 of the OS/2 client.
