Novell DOS
Jump to user comments
operating system, product Novell's fully compatible
alternative to MS-DOS. It is intended as an operatingsystem for workstations on Novell networks. It features
enhanced memory management that moves the operating system,
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-peernetworking 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 applicationprograms. 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.
