I put a shared version of win3 on the netware 2.15a server. I logged in from a client (I have good ipx and net3's) and ran setup/n. The process put some files on my local D:\win3. As long as the shared netware directory is in my path, everything works fine. But what about a swapfile? (I looked in the manual but...) Is this meaningless in a network environment. I thought about either making one on the local disk but when I win/r, run swapfile, I see a 'other applications running' error message. The only thing running is ipx, net3 and win3.!!?!? Does it make sense and is it possible to make a swapfile on the netware server? /*----------- Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------+ | Peter C.

However, there is an invisible application NWPOPUP.EXE that is always running when used in a Novell network. Before calling the swapfile program you have to disable broadcast in the network menu of the control panel. This is not documented in the user manual, but is mentioned in one of the document files (either in the windows package or in the dswin package).
