- I'm afraid you're incorrect in presuming that the PC/TCP kernel
- is supplied by Quarterdeck at all. Your "Network support option"
- disk does not include any TCP/IP kernel code, only the drivers
- that interface to pre-installed TCP/IP kernels from FTP Software
- or Novell.
-
- Sorry.
-
- Tell you what... since I feel pity for you in this predicament --
- I'll let you in on a secret.
-
- If you FTP to sjf-lwp.novell.com, and take a peek in the following
- directory...
-
- ~/lwp4dos/tcpip/*
-
- ...and combine those files with a proper ODI driver from ~/odi/dosup5.zip,
- you should be able to puzzle out how to run DESQview/X with what you
- already have. Call it a "test-drive" since the TCP/IP kernel found in
- sjf-lwp.novell.com: ~/lwp4dos/tcpip/tcpup1.zip is really there as an
- update to people who already have a license to it. If you like it...
- buy it later and I promise not to sick our lawyers after you.
