SUMMARY
If you are upgrading to Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 and using Windows 3.0 with a Novell network, you must use IPX.COM version 3.02a and NET5.COM version 3.1. Using Windows 3.0 without the updated files may produce a variety of problems with printing, enhanced mode operation, network operation, and Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
To generate IPX.COM version 3.02a, do the following:

  Expand and rename the IPX.OB_ and NET5.CO_ files from the MS-DOS 5.0 disks (disk 6 [5.25-inch set] or disk 3 [3.5-inch set]) to the appropriate directory, as follows:      expand ipx.ob_ c:\ipx.obj expand net5.co_ c:\net5.com  If the customer owns NetWare DOS/Windows Workstation update (shell kit), go to step 4.  Copy the new IPX.OBJ file to the Novell disk labeled:      SHGEN-1 (NetWare 286)

-or-

     WSGEN (NetWare 386)   Copy the new IPX.OBJ to the Novell Windows workstation update disk labeled:      NetWare   DOS/Windows WORKSTATION  Use the SHGEN (NetWare 286) or WSGEN (NetWare 386) program on this disk to generate a new IPX.COM file. For more information about creating an IPX.COM file or using the NET5.COM file, see the Novell documentation.</li> Restart the Novell network using the updated IPX.COM and NET5.COM files.</li></ol>
