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.
     
     ;device=*vcd
     ;    Semi-colon removes this function, line was
          "device=*vcd."

     TimerCriticalSection=10000
     ;    Added line, added functionality.

     ReflectDOSInt2A=TRUE
     ;    Added line, added functionality.

     UniqueDOSPSP=TRUE
     ;    Added line, added functionality.

     PSPIncrement=5
     ;    Added line, added functionality.

     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
     ;    May cause network problems.

     NWPOPUP.EXE
     ;    May cause network problems.

     NETWARE.HLP
     ;    May cause network problems.
