TITLE   :Novell NET5.COM Installation and Command Line Help Information
PRODUCT :Microsoft Disk Operating System
PROD/VER:MS-DOS:5.x
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 5.0, 5.0a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

To obtain information about NET5.COM command line switches, enter the following
command at the MS-DOS prompt (if NET5.COM is installed):

   " NET5 /? " (without the quotation marks)

The /? switch normally invokes the MS-DOS Help facility. However, NET5.COM is a
product of Novell NetWare, and the MS-DOS Help facility contains no information
about NET5. For example, typing "HELP NET5" (without the quotation marks) will
display the message "Help not available for this command." In this example, the
/? switch on NET5 is from the Novell Help facility.

To install NET5.COM, the EXPAND utility must be used to transfer the file from
the MS-DOS 5 Upgrade disks.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To install NET5.COM from the MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade disks, place disk 6 (5.25-inch)
or disk 3 (3.5-inch) into a floppy drive and enter the following command at the
appropriate drive prompt:

   " expand net5.co_ [drive]:\[dir]\net5.com " (without the quotation marks)

(Where [drive] is the target drive and [dir] is the target directory for
NET5.COM).

When you enter "NET5 /?" (without the quotation marks), the following information
will be displayed:
