Novell DOS

operating system, product Novell's fully compatible

alternative to MS-DOS. It is intended as an operatingsystem for workstations on Novell networks. It features

enhanced memory management that moves the operating system,

network drivers, and memory-resident programs (TSRs) out

of conventional memory on all systems with an Intel 80286 or

later processor and extended memory or expanded memory.

It supports preemptive multitasking and peer-to-peernetworking using the same DOS Requester and VLMs for a

"common client" with native Novell NetWare.

A data compression utility effectively doubles storage

capacity of the hard disk. It supports disk

defragmentation, a read/write disk cache for better

performance of both DOS and Microsoft Windows applicationprograms. An undelete utility recovers erased files, even on

network drives. It has a complete on-line reference guide,

command help, and menu-driven install and setup utilities for

easy configuration changes.

Novell DOS has internal and external commands like MS-DOS.

The following commands have been significantly enhanced in

Novell DOS: CHKDSK, DISKCOPY, HELP, MEM, REPLACE, UNDELETE,

and XCOPY. Novell DOS also includes many new commands such as

XDIR, CURSOR, XDEL, TOUCH, SCRIPT, and RENDIR.

Version: 7.
