Installation Instructions:

Make a backup copy of each file being replaced before copying the
new file into that same directory.  The integrity of any file can
be verified by comparing the file's checksum with the checksum
located in HISTORY.TXT.  To calculate the checksum of any file,
use the Novell DOS 7 command XDIR <filename.ext> /C from the
command line.

 Copy all files to the NWDOS directory except for IBMBIO.COM,
IBMDOS.COM, and
 COMMAND.COM.  Instructions for these three files are as follows:

 Command.com
 -----------

 COPY A:\COMMAND.COM C:\COMMAND.COM

 Ibmbio.com / Ibmdos.com
 -----------------------

 XCOPY A:\IBMBIO.COM C:\IBMBIO.COM /HRV
 ATTRIB -A +R +S +H C:\IBMBIO.COM
 XCOPY A:\IBMDOS.COM C:\IBMDOS.COM /HRV
 ATTRIB -A +R +S +H C:\IBMDOS.COM
