Novell DOS
     
         {Novell}'s fully compatible
        alternative to {MS-DOS}.  It is intended as an {operating
        system} for {workstations} on {Novell} networks.  It features
        enhanced {memory management} that moves the operating system,
        {network drivers}, and {memory-resident programs} ({TSR}s) out
        of conventional memory on all systems with an {Intel 80286} or
        later processor and {extended memory} or {expanded memory}.
        It supports {preemptive multitasking} and {peer-to-peer
        networking} using the same {DOS Requester} and {VLM}s for a
        "common client" with native {Novell NetWare}.
     
        A data {compression} utility effectively doubles storage
        capacity of the hard disk.  It supports disk
        {defragmentation}, a read/write {disk cache} for better
        performance of both DOS and {Microsoft Windows} {application
        programs}.  An undelete utility recovers erased files, even on
        network drives.  It has a complete on-line reference guide,
        command help, and menu-driven install and setup utilities for
        easy configuration changes.
     
        Novell DOS has internal and external commands like {MS-DOS}.
        The following commands have been significantly enhanced in
        Novell DOS: CHKDSK, DISKCOPY, HELP, MEM, REPLACE, UNDELETE,
        and XCOPY.  Novell DOS also includes many new commands such as
        XDIR, CURSOR, XDEL, TOUCH, SCRIPT, and RENDIR.
