ISSUE:

Many Novell peer-to-peer network customers have been asking for
information on compatibility with Windows 95. This statement is
intended to provide as clear and complete an answer as possible at
the current time. 

Neither NetWare Lite 1.1 nor Personal NetWare 1.0 are compatible with 
Windows 95. No upgrade or change will be created for NetWare Lite.
Upgrade plans for Personal NetWare customers cannot be relayed at
this time. However, Novell is totally committed to providing a
Windows-95 compatible solution for our small network customers.
Specific information on this solution will be announced as soon as
possible.   

We recommend that wherever possible, Personal NetWare customers
remain on a Windows 3.x platform for the time being. Since the
majority of small business customers appear to be taking a cautious
approach to installation of Windows 95, we anticipate this will not
be a great inconvenience. Personal NetWare customers who are forced
to use Windows 95 immediately, should not install Windows 95 on any
Personal NetWare servers. Novell Technical Support can provide
limited assistance for Windows 95 on a Personal Netware "client only"
machine, however, we cannot support customers with Windows 95 on a
server or client-server machine.
