Sorry, the person who alerted me to this fact has been lost in the ether, along with the first draft of this message... mail me back if you want to be credited in the FAQ... Anyway, Novell's CLient32 is at: http://netwire.novell.com/home/client/client32/ It is also somewhere on ftp.novell.com, Novell's Compu$erve support area, and Novell's BBSes. Pluses: Works with NetWare/IP Full NDS support Full support for all applications that expect to find NETX or VLMs Supports browsing multiple NDS trees and multiple points within the same tree Is honest enough to call itself an open beta Minuses: Does not support Microsoft's peer file/print sharing over IPX (but there's enough problems with this that you should really be sharing over NetBEUI or TCP/IP instead anyway). Other pluses/minuses to add or subtract? -rich llurch@networking.stanford.edu moderator of the win95netbugs list http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/win95netbugs/faq.html From win95netbugs-owner@lists.Stanford.EDU Fri Oct 27 19:24:28 1995 Return-Path: Received: from lists.Stanford.EDU by quixote.Stanford.EDU (NX5.67c/NX3.0S) id AA20531; Fri, 27 Oct 95 19:24:27 -0700 Received: (from maillist@localhost) by lists.Stanford.EDU (8.6.12/8.6.6) id TAA22453 for win95netbugs-outbound; Fri, 27 Oct 1995 19:23:44 -0700 Errors-To: mail-errors@lists.Stanford.EDU Date: Fri, 27 Oct 1995 19:23:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Rich Graves To: win95netbugs@lists.Stanford.EDU Subject: c3295?_a.zip - NetWare Client32(TM) for Windows95 Open Beta 1 (fwd) Message-Id: X-Pgp-Key: finger llurch@mordor.stanford.edu X-Url: http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/ Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: win95netbugs-owner@lists.Stanford.EDU I very much encourage major vendors to send stuff like this to the list. Much of the flames about the last couple Microsoft bug fixes (about which I am still embarrassed) would have been avoided had someone from Microsoft acknowledged the problem and announced the fix promptly. I only ask that you avoid any blatant marketing BS, and send anything questionable to win95netbugs-owner for approval rather than the list. Anything sent to the list from nonsubscribed addresses will automatically be bounced to -owner. Note that SimTel mirrors won't actually have the files until they propagate... you can also get the files directly from ftp.client32.novell.com, directory pub/client32/win95/. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ruth Kazanski Subject: c3295?_a.zip - NetWare Client32(TM) for Windows95 Open Beta 1 I have uploaded to SimTel, the Coast to Coast Software Repository (tm), (available by anonymous ftp from the primary mirror site ftp.coast.net and other mirrors of SimTel): ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/win95/novell/c3295d_a.zip ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/win95/novell/c3295n_a.zip ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/win95/novell/c32_tech.zip ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/win95/novell/sdk.zip SimTel/win95/novell/ c3295d_a.zip Novell open beta/client32 diskette install c3295n_a.zip Novell open beta/client32 network install c32_tech.zip Description of Novell client32/view w/Win sdk.zip Novell Client32 SDK beta/NOT required NetWare Client32(TM) for Windows95 Open Beta 1 Novell's NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95 is now available via our Open Beta program.
