View, CA (415) 960-7300 Lines: 35 Well, fresh back from NetUCon it seems that there is some good stuff on the way from Novell - scheduled release date July 13, 1991. NETX - generic shell for netware. Goodbye NET3/4/5 - NETX works with everything. Network Tools - (I think that's what it's called) A set of Windows based network administration tools. Allows you to perform Filer functions, change passwords, map drives, attach to queues - all from the comfort of you Windows m/c. NETROOM 2.0 - I guess this was "released" yesterday (6/19/91) or will be today. Goodbye QEMM, goodbye 386MAX, this puppy blows them out of the water. BTW, this product is from Helix, not Novell. Features: Windows 3.0 support, Special DOS 5.0 support, Converts XMS to EMS, Relocates to High-DOS, Relocates to Lim 3.2 Frame, Relocates to EMS, Relocates to XMS, Works on 386/486, Works on 8088/286, has memory analysis utility. I would think using DOS 5.0 and NETROOM 2.0 that it would be possible to have about 635 K free after loading DOS, IPX and NET5(X). XTREE - I hate to spread vicious rumors, but when I asked XTREE about "when they were going to release a windows based version of their product", their response was "We don't discuss future product releases". Makes you wonder. Perhaps some other NetUCon attendees will post some of the goodies they learned in the tutorials/sessions. -- Greg Widdicombe | Advanced Decision Systems | _--_|\ * Up from Down Under * | 1500 Plymouth Street, | / *\ | Mountain View.
