I'm not personally familiar with this, since our client's not running
Win3 on their NW2.15c network, but a good friend tells me....

You need updated network shells which "know" about Win3.0.  Get them
from NetWire, some "Version 2.15f" versions of Novell (that's s'posed to
be just a document change over 2.15c), or from someone using same.

They are larger than the older shells :-(} and so are the concomitant
ANET3's.  Check out the discussion on NetWire.


Note that the almost-legendary Novell Version 2.2 will probably ship
with these shells.  When/if it ships.

Anyone with NetWare 386/3.1 could comment on whether it ships with the
new shells.  The current NW Buyer's Guide is pre-Wind3.0 and has nothing
to say on the subject.

		Giving because I get so much out of USENET,

Until someone else says where they are available, the new (V3.01),
Windows 3.0-compatible NetWare shell files are on curly.viewlogic.com,
/pub/dswin1.zip through dswin4.zip.  These might be just a tad old,
but they work fine.  Total size is >1.2MB, so do this at night.
