Conserving memory

During NetWare client installation you add the line

CALL C:\NWCLIENT\STARTNET.BAT

to the beginning of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This command then loads four
programs into DOS memory—LSL.COM, MACODI.COM, IPXODI.COM,
and VLM.EXE (in this order). To conserve memory in the lower DOS region,
you may wish to edit the STARTNET.BAT file (installed with your NetWare
software) to load those four programs with the LOADHIGH (LH) command.
See your DOS documentation for details on manually optimizing DOS
memory. (Be aware that the Microsoft utility MEMMAKER does not work
with the DOS-compatible Macintosh.)

Mapping drive letters

When you map a network resource as a drive letter, the Macintosh PC Setup
control panel recognizes that those drive letters are unavailable for use as
shared folders. However, when the network no longer uses the drive letter, PC
Setup will still show them as unavailable for sharing folders until you restart
the PC.

In addition, if a drive letter is being shared before you start up the PC and
Novell needs to use that drive letter, then the Novell network drive will take
precedence over that shared drive letter.

For further information, see your Novell installation and administration
manuals, or contact your network adminstrator.
