SUMMARY
If you are upgrading from MS-DOS version 3.3 or 3.30a to MS-DOS version 5.0 or later, be aware that beginning with MS-DOS 4.0, the redirector syntax changed for Novell NetWare versions 2.1 through 3.1. The syntax is as follows:    Version          Redirector Syntax      Example ---         -      ---

MS-DOS 3.3x     NET3.EXE      NET3.EXE ps= MS-DOS 4.0x     NET4.EXE /     NET4.EXE /ps= MS-DOS 5.0x     NET5.EXE /     NET5.EXE /ps= MS-DOS 6.x      NETX.EXE /     NETX.EXE /ps=

Note the addition of &quot;/&quot; (the forward slash) with version 4.0.

The NetWare redirector filename reflects the version of MS-DOS it is to be used with. Also, in MS-DOS 5.0 the NET5.EXE /? command displays the proper syntax and available switches through online Help.
