Novell DOS
<operating system, product> Novell's fully compatible alternative to
MS-DOS. It is intended as an operating system 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-peer
networking 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 application programs. 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.
