Novell DOS
<operating system, product> 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 (TSRs) 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 VLMs 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.

Novell, Inc.
<company, networking> A software development company specialising in
networking and workgroup applications.
Novell started life as Novell Data Systems, a computer hardware business. The
company was reorganised as Novell, Inc., and began to focus almost entirely on
networking in 1983, with the release of Novell Netware 1, a Network Operating
System for IBM PCs.
Novell Netware's success has left Novell in a dominant position in the
networking market. The product has evolved and now supports many hardware and
software platforms together with WAN connectivity.
The company has diversified in recent years, with the acquisition of several
mainstream applications, including Wordperfect and Quattro Pro. Other products
include UnixWare, AppWare, Personal NetWare, Groupwise and Novell Dos 7.
