I have HIGH hopes for Netware 5, since it now offers virtual memory support. I don't know, however, if it has been implemented in a way that existing applications can utilize it/

As am I. I find it interesting, and somewhat frustrating, that while NT gives me the most problems by a WIDE margin, it also seems to have the most options and support. I have always had very dependable systems that run Netware, but I have very limited choices when it comes to applications. Received on Thu Nov 19 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
