Abstract

This file contains the current updates to the release of Novell DOS 7

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
