ISSUE

This product contains the following enhancements:

*    OS/2 Warp support
*    More robust Windows application support
*    Ability to run NetWare Administrator GUI utility in private Windows
session

This product also includes the following:

*    Support for Remote Boot (RPL)
*    Private and global DOS/MS Windows support
*    IPX/SPX support for enhanced mode MS Windows applications
*    Automated ODINSUP setup
*    Documentation in native OS/2 format (costs less to download and runs with
the OS/2 book display program already on your system)

The NetWare Client for OS/2 version 2.11 electronic documentation is now
available in native OS/2 format.  Because the native OS/2 formatting does not
require much disk space, the documentation is now available as a standard part
of the client kit download rather than as a separate download from NetWire.

Method 1: Extract to Network Drive/Install From Network Drive

NOTE:     You must have a version of the NetWare Client software already
installed on your workstation and be connected to the network in order to use
this install method.  You cannot install to and from the same drive. Example:
You cannot install from C: to C:

1.   To install the NetWare Client software to your hard disk, you must have
adequate disk space to allow for the client to install. (about 4 MB)

2.   At the network drive, create a directory called TEMP.  This directory can
be deleted later.

     Example:  At the J:\ prompt, type

          MD TEMP

3.   Extract WSOS21.EXE, WSOS22.EXE, WSOS23.EXE, WSDRV1.EXE, OS2UT1.EXE, and
OS2DC1.EXE into the TEMP directory.  The self extracting file will
automatically create the required subdirectories.  Change to the directory
where WSOS21.EXE, WSOS22.EXE, WSOS23.EXE, WSDRV1.EXE, OS2UT1.EXE, and
OS2DC1.EXE reside.  DO NOT change to the TEMP directory.

     Example:  At the command line, type

          WSOS21 J:\TEMP\

Do this for each self extracting file in turn.  This will extract all the
files into the TEMP subdirectory.
