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.
