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
