SUMMARY
To obtain information about NET5.COM command line switches, enter the following command at the MS-DOS prompt (if NET5.COM is installed):

NET5 /?

The /? switch normally invokes the MS-DOS Help facility. However, NET5.COM is a product of Novell NetWare, and the MS-DOS Help facility contains no information about NET5. For example, typing HELP NET5 will display the message &quot;Help not available for this command.&quot; In this example, the /? switch on NET5 is from the Novell Help facility.

To install NET5.COM, the EXPAND utility must be used to transfer the file from the MS-DOS 5 Upgrade disks.



MORE INFORMATION
To install NET5.COM from the MS-DOS 5.0 Upgrade disks, place disk 6 (5.25-inch) or disk 3 (3.5-inch) into a floppy drive and enter the following command at the appropriate drive prompt:

expand net5.co_ [drive]:\[dir]\net5.com

(Where [drive] is the target drive and [dir] is the target directory for NET5.COM).

When you enter NET5 /? , the following information will be displayed:     NetWare V3.10 - Workstation Shell for PC DOS V5.x  (910307) (C) Copyright 1990 Novell, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Usage : NET5 [ ] Valid : /?
