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.
