The DOS 5 beta from 11/90 came with a beta NET5.COM .
This NET5.COM did not support the handy "PS=server" preferred server
syntax.
The DOS 5 final from 4/91 did not even have a NET5 .

1) Where can we get a new NET5 with "PS=server" fixed ? MS doesn't know.

Also, I read about an "xmsnet3.com" in LAN Technology magazine , 5/91,
page 10, that was described as "... a version of the NetWare workstation
shell that loads into extended memory ... "

2) Is there an xmsnet5.com ?  Will it work with MS 5 HIGHMEM.SYS ?
   Is it PD or does it come from Novell ?
   Does it *have* to run with EMM386.SYS (thus probably conflicting with
   Deskview and other protected mode managers ) -or- can it simply load
   into the high 64K on a 80286+ ?
