ISSUE:

NETWARE LITE AND THIRD-PARTY CACHES

NetWare Lite v1.1 now ships with a disk cache called NLCACHE. Get
document 1200398 from Novell's FaxBack Service or TID1200398 from the
NSE Pro or Compuserve for particular in-depth details on NLCache.

Caches other than the NetWare Lite's NLCache may need to have delayed
writes, deferred writes, posted writes, or queued writes disabled if
they are used with NetWare Lite.  Many cache programs "wake up" to do
writes in the background, and they do not protect themselves from
reentry with a DOS-critical section callout.  If you use a cache
(other than the NLCache) with deferred writes, posted writes, or
queued writes turned on, you may get random hangs, data corruption,
or other abnormal behavior.  To use a cache other than NLCache, call
the cache company's technical support group to find out if their
cache's deferred writes, posted writes, or queued writes work with
NetWare Lite.  Many caches do not allow delayed writes, deferred
writes, posted writes, or queued writes when using a peer-to-peer
network.  However, NLCache can use delayed writes.  If you are using
a cache that has one of the above options, make sure the option is
turned off.  Some cache tuning may be necessary for best results.

                       *****  WARNING  *****

Do not load two cache utilities on the same machine.
