I can confirm that the Phar Lap extender works on NetWare client systems,
althought neither Phar Lap nor Novell supports it.  We've got Mathematica
386 (a 3 Meg+ protected-mode program) available on our software server.
It uses Phar Lap's 386|DOS Extender, and it appears to work with no
problems.

The only caveat is that the overlays page a little slowly, but it's not
too bad since we have it configured to do data paging to the local hard
disk.

Not all DOS extenders will work; the differences may be on an application-
by-application basis.  For example, Turbo Debugger 2.0's 386 debugger will
_not_ work when I am using NetWare.  (The 286 debugger works fine!)
